Feather Legged
Rare breed that is not well known in USA. Feathered legs and feet. Breed has 5 toes and each toe must have feathers individually. Extremely cold hardy. Comb must be as per Barbanter, the V shaped comb.

The Pavlovskaja is one of the oldest Russian breeds. In 1895 it was mentioned in the literature as "an extreme rarity." In the 1980s a couple of cock birds were found by a poultry breeder and crossing these with some other crested breeds, the Pavlovskaja Hen as been saved from extinction. There is now a Russian standard for the breed. Its name comes from the village of Pavlovo in the province of Nizhniy Novgorod.

They have a large upright crest, muff and beard. The feathers should completely surround the leg and should be on all toes, unlike in other breeds of chickens.

The meat is said to be light and slightly gamy.

@RussianChickens Have you had a chance to try the Pavlovskaja? I've seen some youtube videos and they are beautiful. I talked with a breeder who said the Pavies are very low egg production and smallish eggs. But I think people want this breed for its beauty and gentler temperament more than for eggs/meat.
