Where did these yellow legs come from?

I crossed light Sussex and white rock.... Mostly I come out with white legs, although I've come across a few green legs.
What I don't get.... I have a couple with yellow legs.
I did at one time have a cornish x that MAY have laid a few eggs....
So it could be from her.

In chicken genetics, is it possible to have two white legged birds pass on a yellow leg gene?

Even if her legs look a little yellow against my dark blue shirt, they are not, they are white.
 
The yellow legs of a hen will turn white after she lays enough eggs. It all depends on the amount of yellow pigments in the food the hen is eating.

Welll, what im trying to figure out is what breed she is. I thought she was a white rock, but she has always had white legs.
