No, Most chickens have the same color of legs, the egg color is determined by the variety of the chicken. For example, Bovine and cornish hens lay brown eggs, while Polish and leghorn hens lay white eggs.

It should be noted that Cornish hens are not generally used for egg laying, but are a very common variety for butchering, as they gain weight and mature much faster than most varieties.

Do roosters have white legs and hens have a pail yellow legs?

Cockerels are not hens, they are immature male roosters. Colour of the egg depends on the breed of the chicken. Leghorns have white eggs, where as Buckeyes give brown eggs. The colour of a chickens legs depend on the breed not the gender. Male and female birds of the same breed will display the same colour tones. Many chickens are of mixed breed however so the dominant gene will determine the leg colour of the chicken.

Can you tell by the shape of a egg if it is a rooster or a hen?

No. The size and shape of an egg does not determine the gender of the potential chick inside the egg. There is absolutely no way to determine gender until the embryo is fully formed and hatched.


If you change the temerture of the egg will it change the sex of a chicken when it hatches?

No, the temperature at which an egg is incubated does not determine the sex of a chicken. The sex of a chicken is determined by its genetics, with males having ZZ chromosomes and females having ZW chromosomes. Temperature can affect egg development and hatch rate, but not the sex of the chick.

Which came 1st the chicken egg or the chicken?

From an evolutionist's point of view, the egg came first. A chicken, by definition, must be born from an egg. The egg does not have to be a chicken's egg however. The egg could be layed by an avian that is very similar to a chicken, but which is not a chicken. A small mutation in the genes produces the chicken offspring, which in turn lays eggs to produce more young.
