chicaflora Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I have two hens and one of them in broody at the moment and has been for quite a few weeks. When i took her off the nesting box this morning i noticed that her legs have started to go a very bright yellow. Her legs are usually pale greyish white and i am treating her for scaly leg at the moment. My other hen's legs are the same colour as usual. If anyone knows why this is please let me know as I'm very worried! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 As she isn't laying because of the broodiness, the pigments will have built up again in her body. When she starts producing eggs again, it will fade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
