    wondering what breed this is

    I've searched breeds with green legs and have not seen a white one as of yet. Also their eyes are big black pools. No irises that I can see. The feathers are a very soft texture, softer than the feathers of a cochin. The hen is fairly docile where the cockerel is skiddish. He is gutsy though...

    Roost standoff?

    I was sitting with my chickens this evening and had an encounter of sorts. Being new to chickens I am not sure what was going on and thought someone might share their knowledge of chickens with me. After feeding I often sit down on a 4x4 and become small chicken bed for a few of my wyandottes...
