Not a Crèvecœur?

[Silviaschicks]

Hi, I recently bought a crèvecœur but I don’t think she actually is one. She has black feathers, beak, and legs but white skin, and she also has feathered legs. She has 4 toes and a muff and beard

What makes makes you think she’s not?

Crévecœurs are supposed to not have feathered legs

Oh. Maybe she is a different breed.

Here is a pic of my Crevecour. Definitely doesn't have feathered legs.

She looks almost exactly like one.. is it possible she is mixed, or just poorly bred?

I would say she is poorly bred. Possible that there was some sort of mix along the way. I have heard of chickens growing stubs and then sprouting feathers, because of factors such as stress, this is very uncommon though.

Feather stubs aren't necessarily linked to having feathered legs. They can just pop up. I would still say she's a Crevecoeur

My barnevelder chick has a couple of those sprouts too!

Crossed with a Houdan or something a couple of generations back--? There are a lot of Crevecouer traits, but I don't have experience with any other crested breeds besides Crèvecœur.
