Interesting question. All chicks are sire Chunky and dams Kibbles and Bits. Parents are blue Columbian wyandottes. In this batch 5 have good yellow legs but one of the blue Columbian ?pullets has pink legs. In batch 2 all 12 have yellow legs. Wyandottes should have yellow legs so where did this pink show up from? You can see the yellow in the chick behind. It's more pronounced than it looks.

pink isn't a leg colour for chickens...there's yellow, white, slate/blue, black and green/willow.....SO.....that one does look fairly yellow at the top of the left leg, and it could be a couple of possibilities. it's actually yellow and hasn't filled in properly yet. or, it's yellow with a pale (white) dermis underneath, so the blood flow makes it look pinker. or, it's really pink and it's part guinea (although the behaviour would probably be visible already; pulling your leg here....not part guinea)....or that the blue gene is playing with the yellow allele leg colour in this bird more than the other birds, by diluting the yellow a bit and allowing the pigment in the blood to be seen as pink through the yellow (and this is where i would hedge my bet).
