ella - you are probably right on the washed out legs on the white one.
freebie - my elder hens do have much thicker legs than my youngins. I've got some in the year range and they are no where as thick as others in 3-4 year range. At a year old, you should be basically getting eggs daily once these get settled in...that will be the sign your looking for. Not sure of any other way to tell how old they are. Maybe someone else knows.
