These 2 chicks came from a batch that I hatched that was supposed to be a mix of Barred Rocks and RIR. The plan was to make my own sex links with RIR roo and BR hens. Well one of the supposed RIR has feathered feet, the other doesn't. I asked earlier about feather feet in RIR and some said it may be a recessive gene because when they were little they did look like my other RIR chicks I've hatched. Now they are starting to feather out they look nothing like my other RIR. They are also very big, almost twice the size of the same aged barred rock chicks.
Any idea what they are??
Don't worry, even feather footed freaks are welsome in my coop as long as they give me nice brown eggs.

Aloha,
Cory

Do they have 5 toes? Because she looks like a Slamon Favorolle mix to me? If she has five toes then you may have yourself some SF/mixes!! Cute chick no matter what she is but I love feathered feet!!

They both have 4 toes...... Its strange that they both look alike, but only one has the feathered feet.
