white legs????

[silkiechicken]

If all else is fine, I bet she's an awesome layer. My white leghorns had bright yellow legs as juveniles, and by the time they were 9 months old, their legs were darn near as white as their feathers!

The droppings in my coop (I don't know whose is whose since i've been busy lately

) has a lot of white in it but it's not runny and there isn't anything in it that's alarming, like blood. This happened quite awhile before my hen's legs paled though. That may have nothing to do with it but anyway I looked on the poop chart and all seemed well.
I've only seen the white legs in the last couple of days. When I looked again I started to think they weren't that much paler than the others her age. They are pale but I don't think a dramatic difference. She doesn't act sick or different either.
I feed them their normal layer pellets, scratch, and snacks here and their, like vegetables. The coop was only built in summer but I added on again and so the litter had all been removed and replaced not long ago.

I'm not seeing anything that is alarming from an external view. I just wanted to make sure there wasn't the possiblity there was something else going on that I couldn't see and this was a subtle sign that I might of been able to catch in advance. Thank you on any info.
