Leg color and egg color are only linked indirectly (by breed) and thus leg color cannot reliably be used as an egg color indicator. E.g. a Rhode Island Red hen (red/brown hen with yellow legs) will lay large brown eggs, but a Red Leghorn hen (also red/brown hen with yellow legs) will lay white eggs.
In general, a better indicator of a chicken's egg color is her earlobes. (A chicken 'earlobe' is a round spot of skin just underneath the ear socket. It can be flabby or taut.) A chicken with red earlobes will typically lay brown (darker) eggs, where a chicken with white earlobes will lay white (lighter) eggs. Of course, there are exceptions to the rule.
For help identifying a chicken's earlobe, see Related Links, below.
