It looks like they have feather feet though, and both have single combs. I think they're Gold Laced Cochins, if that exists.

Got my 24+ eggs today and only lost 3 out of all of them they were really smashed eggs oozing out of the corner of the carton and I got really nervous but the rest looked great! I will post the results for you when they hatch!! Kathy

The photos look great all look very cute would love to see these running through my yard!! Hope to get some of your eggs to hatch soon!! I sent you a pm with my zip code. Talk to you soon! Kathy
I was just wondering if anyone could tell me how many years chickens lay eggs for before they stop and are worn out. I am new to this and wonder if this summer I should hatch some eggs instead of selling them so I can have future egg layers. Thanks, Kathy!
Hi I need to ask a question about chickens who have frostbite on them. My roosters combs are looking pretty scary top 1/2 so far is black. Is there anything I should or could do for them or do I just late nature take its course?? PLease send me your ideas, Thanks, Kathy.
