Does leg color relate to egg shell color?

[Kakaruk]

Hello friends,

Does leg color of hens relate to egg shell color?

I have a leghorn mix with mostly 'white' legs and lays white eggs.

I have lots of other hens with 'off white' legs that lay brown eggs.

I have several 'Olive Eggers' with gray legs that lay green eggs.

Is there any correlation between leg color and egg color?

If so, is it only sort of a generalization? There are exceptions to each leg/egg color?

No... I have grey legged chickens that lay white eggs (EE), a yellow legged chicken (barnyard mix) that lay brown and another yellow legged one that lays blue (cream legbar)... really it boils down to genetics and if they are pure breed or barnyard mixes or Easter eggers...

The only visual “tell” for egg color that I know of is their ear color.
White ear = white egg
Red ear = brown
No visual way to tell if they lay blue, green, pink, or speckled eggs. At least not to my knowledge.

Leg color, lobe color, mixed breed, etc. Has nothing to do with egg color.
The other thing that has to do with egg color is their egg color genetics.
