Yes Brahmas are feathered on the feet. And they are some of the most gentle natured chicks. That's a Brahma in my picture to the left. I use to turn around and see my previous Brahmas standing right next to me at the kitchen sink. They found a way in the house and loved to come visit me for a treat.
The one with feather tufts on it's cheek, 5 toes... Salmon Faverolle... I have 2, pullet and cockeral. The cockeral is so cute! He looks like a little old man. So I have pinned him the name "Grandfather". Both of mine are shy too. I can catch the pullet... but Grandfather won't have any thing to do with us. He is his.... how do you say... his own man/chicken.I have got to get a digital camera so I can share pics with you. I'm so old school.
Well I'm glad someone appreciates my comparisons to Star Wars. I think they are hilarious when they run.
But I can tell you one thing about my chicks, they are mentally challenged!!!! They will not sleep in their house. They bunk under the stars. Even if it's raining. I have to take them one by one in the house and block the door. I've yet to figure why. There are no rats or snakes, so they must just be dumb!

The only trip worth taking is... when you get down on your knees to pray!
