Pheasant with Yellow feet?

[ac777]

My girlfriend shot a bird today with me that had brite Yellow feet on the undersides. Bothe feet were like this, other than that the bird was normal. Anyone know what this is from? Some kind of genetics is what I'm thinking.

This is purely a guess but could it be from the frigid temps lately? Mallards always get the red legs from more blood having to be in their feet when its cold out (or so I've read).

i don't think it's from the cold, because i shot one also this year with yellow feet out west and that was in early nov. kinda wierd looking i thought maybe a released bird?

Heres a picture of it compared to a normal one.

This was going to be my first question, I think he should be more concerned about poaching; unless this was at a game farm!?

Im guessing ac777 meant yesterday and didnt realize it was Monday since he posted it at 12:30. My guess would be a lack of pigmentation.

Maybe, he crossed the road in a no passing zone ?

Umm ya if you didnt notice, the post was at 12:30 am, What'd I do, go shine it or something? Of course it was shot on the last day of the season.

Anyways, I thought it was kinda interesting, still not sure what its from though.

WOW. Its like tennis ball yellow. Hummmmmmm????

I shot one last weekend with yellow feet like that. Never seen it before. And it was cold as heck. Birds were spooky.

hahaha...good for you man...stand up for yourself.... the ethics/poacher police on this forum need to take a step back and "read" or think before they type and call someone out before they have a clue what they are talking about. I get tired of that happening on here.

Those feet are weird! Cool though!

[scsavre]

The internet police tried to get you, funny...

That is crazy, has to be the wet yellow paint theory......

Weird, never seen it before.

Yeah that is pretty weird. Never seen it before.

I've seen Chickens that froze their feet and they turn a yellow color (before turning gray and falling off).

My sister has 2 roosters that have 'clubs' for feet. Their toes and a chunk of their foot eventually fell off and they run around on a small chunk of their foot at the base of their leg.

That's maybe be my guess...

Good Luck!

AC, I can't believe you shot the Road Runner (beep beep)! The wily coyote has been trying for years!

I can say I have never seen this before, great pic and neat info to find out~!

Haha, I take no blame for shooting the road runner. My girlfriend did....

[memyself@I]

I shot one a few years back, the only thing I found memorable about the yellow feet was that it was one tough bird after cooking!!!
