Looks like a hatchery quality BR to me. Also, yellow feet on hens sometimes fade this time of year to a duller yellow because of laying. They yellow back up in the fall.

Indeed bought her from a tractor store. Also bought a easter egger the same day ad i bought the BR on September first last year, that lays.. White eggs with tiny hint of a pink hue.
I guess 5% of ee's will.. Lay another color besides blue or green.. Lol

EEs are said to lay colored eggs (pink, green, brown, tan, blue). I have a Leghorn/EE that lays mint green eggs.

Interesting. My friend bought hers from an individual and was in shock did not believe it would lay any color besides blue or green.. Then i screenshot google answer to her to prove i am not crazy. .. Lol i thought my br was laying eggs twice daily fir the first couple weeks after they started laying

Too funny..

I bought my friend a couple br's fron same place as i bought mine from and they are aging so differently in looks thab the one i have did. I think they switch hatcheries prob go with what they can make the most profit off of...

Hatchery quality Barred Rock, without a doubt. It seems leg color on this breed can range from bright yellow to dusky/dark on a yellow base.

Female BR's tend to have a dark wash over their yellow legs

That makes sense. The roo would have better colored leg shade. . they age so akward akwar! i think worse than any other breed i have seen.
