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.

Do chicken legs determine egg colour?
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.

When you have raised five pet chickens together since they were born but you recently found out three of them are roosters is there a way you can keep them without them fighting?
It is not recommended that they are kept together. Rooster can grow some pretty fierce spurs on their legs that can be leathal in a schuffle. Roosters can be very territorial, especially if there are hens around. They are not trained fighting roosters you can keep em together, a little bickering will happen, just like a bunch of dogs u can have more then one male. they should not fight sence theygrew up together

Is it possible to have only hens in a coop?
Yes. We use our chickens for eggs, but not for breeding. We keep just hens. For the first year we had roosters. They were beautiful, but they would pull feathers from the hens, chased the kids, scratched our legs, and would crow first thing in the morning. We gave them away to a friend that wanted them. It has been a few years now rooster free and we haven't had any adverse effects from their absence. The hen's feathers grew back quickly, we don't have to worry about being spurred when collecting eggs, and we can sleep in on Saturdays.
How do you tell buff orpington hen from rooster pullet?
Pullets are actually hens, that is female. Roosters or cockerals who are Buff Orpingtons cannot always be told apart from the pullets (ladies). Some say the rooster has more golden saddle feathers, thicker legs and a more developed comb. But hens can have nice combs, too. Here's the kicker: BO hens can also crow! The only way to be sure is to wait a year or more and see who doesn't lay eggs. That's be the rooster, usually docile.too.
