it might be white

Jay told me that he had used LF white to try to darken the leg color on his buffs.

That\'s just crazy!  I\'ve had white chicks of other breeds and they were never chocolatey.  I assume those cute chocolate legs will turn slate.  I rather liked those choclate legs (sigh).

Another question.  In this same clutch I have VERY dark legs.  How do you know if slate has gone too dark and is really black?

Maybe it is a smoky.  Thier legs tend to be very dark.

Wait 8 to 10 weeks and judge their leg color then.   It can change.   It will never be white, but could be willow, dark slate, or black.
