Thanks for the pictures! I guess I didn't realize that you can have the same coloring in different breeds. I was thinking that the breed determined the coloring but it appears that the coloring is only part of the deal.
EXACTLY! Different breeds with genetically the same color...

Yes Both breed have the same adult feathering pattern that is genetically called Light Columbian, some just go by Light ( Light Brahmas or Light Sussex) and some go by Columbian ( Columbian Wyandottes or Columbian Rocks) but its the same color.
And feather footed breeds may be harder...
So, pardon my newbie-ness, the feathering on their bodies as adults, is very similar? Interesting!
Speaking of feathered legs, do chickens with feathers on their legs and/or feet require any additional care?
I have been using google to find pictures of both and for both I am seeing the same pics of a large white bird with black at the end of the tail feathers and black & white around the neck. Can someone post pics of each? I'm getting some Columbian Wyandotte chicks and looking for some Brahma...
