Do you find the leg colour on your guinea fowls can be from a grey colour to orange colour? I wondering if there is a reason for that?

Me thinks so too, I have noticed that more on the pearls and males some have the shanks covered.

They are from very pale orange to deep orange never gey colour. Its mutation related and age related ;)

We have a number of guineas that have dark coloured patches on their legs, photos show some of them.

Feathers can go from the hock to the shank like in the 2nd picture which is quite normal as for the pigment loss its also normal as Ace wrote

Note the pigment still showing through in picture 1, picture 2 and picture 3 again very normal for dark skin fowl
The leg colour is officially orange but it can be hard to see when they are running around and you see the feathers and some pigment loss

I had a close look and your right it was the feathers and a tiny bit of black on the legs I was seeing I did notice its was mostly on the older ones so I guess its part of ageing
