Hi, I was wondering if chickens with feathered feet stay warm in winter? I don't have any with feathered feet and won't get any unless they stay warm in winter. It gets down to -35F.
They lay big green/blue eggs. They tend to be lower in the pecking order. Ours really get beat up from our rooster. Our one is an egg eater. they are not all that friendly. They are my shyest birds.
I love my barred rock hens. I used to have a rooster too. The rooster was horrible for meat. the hens lay awesome huge eggs. They sometimes peck on the other younger hens but that is just the pecking order.
