feathered feet

Hello and Please Help!!! My 5 month old rooster Thorin has had red and inflammation at the base of his hair follicles on his feet and legs. It has gradually gotten worse and I can’t find anything like it online and I’m hoping for some insight to determine what this came from. After noticing it...

1 1/2-year-old Light Brahma hen

We’re in zone 7, in Tennessee. Our winters mostly average 15-20 degrees F, but we did have a week or a little over that where it was -4 F last year, during the big storm. We have a covered run on a hillside and are able to do deep litter in their coop. We get some humid and rainy times. I’ve...

I’m new to chickens and can’t figure out what breed(s) of chickens these two blondes are. Can anyone give me an idea? They’re both about 6 weeks with chipmunk cheeks (muffs?) and heavily feathered feet. Initially, they were all the same size, but now the two yellow ones are a bit smaller than...

I have some questions about the breeds of my chicks, which are not as the seller described. So I had a broody hen, and I decided to give her hatching eggs. Since we don't have a rooster, we ordered a set of 12 eggs on eBay. The seller's description was as follows: "Assorted mix which consists...

We bought some straight run bantams, my son thought this one was a silkie. But she’s developing feathers. Has a grayish undertone to her. Last picture she’s (he) is bottom middle Thanks!

Hello all, thank you for having you here. This April will be my one-year mark of becoming a chicken owner, and I have reached my first roadblock that I cannot seem to overcome. I have two buff Brahma among my clean legged birds. Mid January I noticed that one of them had lost considerable amount...

My mixed flock of barred (and barred rooster) and red/white/black laying hens (all standard) have produced 2 little chicks with feathered feet. None of the flock have feathered feet. They are the cutest little things but I don't know how it happened? Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi, I have posted about Jazzi before about her breed and gender but here I am at 8 weeks with no clue!! We originally thought she was a Faverolle, but someone on here mentioned she could be a Brahma or both so we now think that is right and she is a mix of both. She has extremely fluffy feet...

I have one Salmon Faverolles hen. She's the only chicken I've had with a beard and feathered feet, and it just seems like she's always uncomfortable and dirty compared to my other chickens. Her beard and feet are always encrusted with dirt, and I'm constantly having to clean her bottom. I...

What breed is this? i got then from a flea market - they both have feathered feet.

my flock is mostly bantam ICochin and Cochin mixes, and I live in the Pacific Northwest, where it rains most of the year. last year most of my birds feet feather broke off or I had to cut them back because of the rain. their run gets pretty muddy, I put down sand usually which helps but isnt a...

This is my one rooster from all of the rescue birds I took in this year, I found him in a box with a ton of silkies and one little Cayuga duckling about six weeks ago. They were all sick but he, a black Silkie, and the Cayuga survived. He’s obviously Silkie (5 toes and hyper melanated) but mixed...

Hello, people of the chicken world! Can anyone think of a breed that has Feathered Feet ( I don't mind if not, but it would be preferable) Blue/Dark Brown Layer Medium to big Laced Single/ Pea Comb If a breed has two or more of these please reply (with the number (and an image? - if you...

I’ve been guessing on this sweet little bantam since I brought her home. She is a little over 6 weeks old. Super small with heavily feathered feet. Just developed this adorable beard/muff thing in the last week or so! Any ideas what breed she might be? Was thinking just from my internet...

Hi good day What are my baby chick's feet turning red? I've never seen this before. Are they red bumps? He walks and eats like normal, but occasionally he'd raise up his tiny foot and peck at it. And I also I am seeing him standing on one leg now? I took the mud off under his feet already but...

I wanna learn more about genetics for chickens. So, I’m asking about feathered feet. Is it dominant or recessive? Can it be sex-linked? I had a mix of a OEGB Bantam and a Wydandotte Bantam. He is now a grown man. He “married” and had kids with a pure-blood buff Cochin Bantam. Well, they had 4...

I bought this chick thinking they were selling me an austrolarp but it has feathers on it legs and I'm sure austrolarps come feather free. Does anyone know what I have invested my time and money into here?
