Looks like my girl Pea is carrying the same mutation as my Chameleon hen. She had different parents though.

I only see a feather. Can you post picture of the hen?

I can, in a few minutes. Just picked up a feather sample when she molted it onto the ground.

I'm babysitting a puppy at the moment.

Here she is. It was super bright outside, so her coloring has been abit obscured.

Excuse the ugly legs/feet, she'll be getting treated for scaly leg mites soon.

It's more visible in real life, then you can see here due to the lighting.

We will need to check her progress.!

I'll update, for sure. I'll give her a couple weeks, & hopefully the light outside won't be as bright.

I'll get better pictures of my hen, Pea today. Looks like it's going to be mostly cloudy, so I can get pictures that actually show what I'm seeing.

@nicalandia, Here's the redo, pictures. She may not have as a dramatic change as the first hen, but we'll see.

Found out something new: Amelanosis
Not quite sure this is what's going on with my two (Mostly) unrelated birds, or not. Has similarities, but doesn't fit the puzzle completely.

With white/yellow legs being dominant, is it hard to breed back to slate legs once the yellow has been introduced?

Also is it hard to find birds with dominant white that have slate or blue legs?
