feather feet

Hen born 2.22.22 Lives in a completely enclosed Colorado coop and run. Never had any issues like this purple bleu leg before on any girl. Two separate runs w one fence line between 20 hens on each side. This girl’s side HAS a roo. She may have bumble foot spots which I treated tonight w a spa...

What are some Pro/Cons of feathered feet breeds? Let's make this a bit of a chat! I know myself that feathered feet are pron for getting soiled very quickly witch has turned me off slightly. Yet there are so many great FF breeds. What do peeps think? FF=Feather Footed

Hello!! I've lost mostly all of my flock since last spring. So I got a handful of chicks last week from my local feed & seed. ANYWAYS There are 3 little bantams I have, and have no idea what they are. The little blue-ish chick is the only one with feather feet. They all have poofs atop their...

So my new batch if chicks is a mix but this bantam I can't figure out a breed despite hours googling all the hatchery sites. It looks similar to my OEGB as a chick but this one has feathered legs. Any guesses?

Hi All, I spent 6 months looking forward to my newest chick order and my first roo (Black Jersey Giant). I wanted a HUGE, docile, pet rooster for my girls. I did all of the research in the world to make my decision. Now, Meyer just called to say that none of their Jersey eggs are viable. I also...

I’m just going to assume rooster.

I have two White Marans pullets. Once they became about 3-1/2 months I have noticed a white like dandruff on the coop floor. What is this and is this normal? I am new to Marans and feather legged/footed chickens. Thank you.

I have this 22 week old pullet and I'm just curious if I'm correct in guessing that she's a Langshan? She does have a greenish tint all over her feathers. The main thing that I noticed though... All of the Langshan pictures I have looked up have red combs and wattles. Hers are black. Does this...

Hello I have a 4 month old Mille fleur. She’s extremely skittish even for a chicken that hasn’t been handled a lot. I got her from some guy in CT. Shes so skittish she runs so fast she trips over her long feathered feet. Does anyone know if she’d be okay if I clipped them shorter? And or how to...

Hi all, I was wondering if you could help me with the breed of these two bantams we picked up today?? So the story starts, we went to the feed store to get some crumbles. The lady had just got in a shipment of bantams, and the hatchery threw in a few extra roos, and one of them was a black...

I received this chick from purely poultry, having included a Red frizzle Cochin bantam in my order. The other Cochins that I received were black and grey, and as Cochin-ish as expected. though this red One has some Cochin features, it is very different than any Cochin chick that I have had. It...

What breed do you guys think she is ( brown one)? I was thinking maybe a belgian because she's brown and sort of speckled wings? She has feathered feet too and seems like a good flyer (she flew from an object about a foot and a half or more away from me onto my arm once). She's about 2 weeks...

I can’t tell if my caramel brahmas have scaly leg mites/something else wrong or if this is what brahmas’ feet are supposed to look like. Thanks!!!

I'm not sure if it's breeding injuries but both my Marans roos are mildly lame, some days worse than others. At first I thought that a couple of the feather shafts in one of the toes of Mukluk (roo #1) was causing him to gimp around, now I'm not so sure that's it. He walks like he had chinese...

Only couple weeks old. Im in shock one has a defined row of points on comb already. Would this indicate its a roo only at a couple weeks old as the other one has a flat comb with no points or spikes.
