I have also read/heard that some midnight majesty marans don't have the feathers on feet. So, not really sure.

Ok, think i jumped the gun on this one. Been keeping an eye on her and she hasn't sneezed anymore and beak isn't wet either. I forgot that I had added more shavings and mixed in with old. That was right before I noticed the sneezing. Thanks for your help.
