merlina Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Two of my chooks have developed a strange tinge to their feet and legs - a kind of rusty yellow. It looks rather like they stepped in something - but it doesn't come off (and I can't find anything off-yellow they could have waddled through) I can't see any signs of parasites or anything nasty. Two of the girls who share the same quarters don't have the yellow-y colour (but they have darker toned legs to start with). The two yellow-legs are not laying (and haven't for many months) - I did find a very old thread that suggested it might be something to do with coming in to lay. One is a 4 year old warren who hasn't laid for about 9 months and the other a year old araucana who only ever laid about a dozen eggs then went on strike! Any ideas? Should I be concerned?

Egluntyne Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 If they haven't been laying then the pigments will have built up in their skin. It will fade when they stop laying again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
