∙ 14y agoChicken legs and thighs are in constant use. Muscles in constant use have red muscle fibre. Red muscle fibre, which looks dark when cooked, has a high myoglobin content. Myoglobin allows the fibre to use oxygen more efficiently and keep up a steady supply of fuel to the muscles.

Henderson breed chart under Comb/skin/earlobes will describe skin/leg color for each true breed.

Why is there white and dark meat on chickens?
A wild bird will have all dark meat. A chicken is a bird that has been domesticated and taken care of for centuries. Most wild birds fly. A chicken does not. Muscles are the "meat" of an animal. The more a muscle works the darker it gets. This is due to striations or sarcomere in the muscle cell that is responsible for contracting or bunching up the muscle. More work means more sarcomers means darker muscle. Chicken legs and thighs are dark meat. This is because the legs and thighs work to get the bird from place to place. Work means darker meat. Chicken breast and wings are light meat. Chickens don't fly because the breast is too bit, it interfers with the wing movement and there really is no need to fly since the bird is taken care of by humans. Since the wings and breast don't do much work, they are lighter in color and thus light meat.
