A little late to the game here
My girl had very grey legs up until recently (almost 8 wks old now). She's getting more yellow and she gets older. I started to worry about jaundice but on research they seem to be a mix of results for leg colour.

Re the mix, I read they are Barred Plymouth Rock with a Blue Plymouth Rock.
