I wanna learn more about genetics for chickens. So, I’m asking about feathered feet. Is it dominant or recessive? Can it be sex-linked? I had a mix of a OEGB Bantam and a Wydandotte Bantam. He is now a grown man. He “married” and had kids with a pure-blood buff Cochin Bantam. Well, they had 4...
I bought this chick thinking they were selling me an austrolarp but it has feathers on it legs and I'm sure austrolarps come feather free. Does anyone know what I have invested my time and money into here?
I picked up these 7 chickens and didn’t think to ask the breeds and it wasn’t stated in the ad. They had been mixed in with some pheasants and the people had some very interesting birds in another pen nearby, but no other chickens besides the ones in the pens I was shown to. If there’s any...
so I just noticed pin feathers on the webbing of one of my Polish chicks. This one is 11 weeks old and I’m hoping is a pullet since the other 2 siblings have started to crow. Has anyone seen feathered feet on a Polish?
Hello all :frow
I purchased this chick along with some Silkie chicks. This chick is approximately 10 days old.
Does anyone know what is this chick’s breed and, if possible, gender?
Thank you all!!!! :jumpy
I just cleaned my coop, too.
#1: Buff Brahma, 11 mos
#2: White Cochin, 11 mos
Soak feet, smother in oil, clean out bedding, treat coop/roosts. What else do I need to do?
TIA!
I have six chicks that are about 4 weeks old. My other five chicks are what I ordered, but my supposed Brahma is a mystery. The coloring is appropriate but she does not have feathered legs. Is this a mutation I haven't heard of? Or maybe a similar looking breed?
I have an 8mo old light Brahma who has had some bleeding on her feet the last 5-6 days. I noticed a small spot at first and didn’t think much of it. But today there is obviously more and she seems to me favoring the foot slightly. I have included photos. She is eating, drinking, and laying (as...
So I recently got a chicken from a friend who found this girl roaming in her yard and since she couldn’t keep her I took her in. She’s a very small hen, probably under 5 pounds and she has feathered feet. I’ve looked everywhere and I can’t find out what breed she is? Can anyone help me out?
Hello could anyone confirm breed and sex? We got 6 pullets (the guy thought they were all female) back in May, we think they are about 18wks old. He is a chicken breeder and bred several different breeds, in the add he stated he had black copper marans, Americanas (sp?) wynottes, but that’s all...
We special ordered a White faced black Spanish from a local feed store, but the feed store mixed up our special ordered chicks and gave us something different because were pretty sure she is not a white faced black Spanish. She has a white chin like other White Faced chicks, but the giveaway is...
When I purchased these chicks they were labeled as Crested Polish. I can't find any pictures where Crested Polish have feathers on their feet? Is this possibly a cross breed?
I need help figuring out what breed my four new bantams are. Three of the are white with feathered feet rose combs, and a random black feather or two. The fourth is white with randow cream and brown feathers also with feathered feet and a rose comb, she is the oldest of the four and has a poof...
I have two others I’d like to identify as well! Met jerry, the first lighter chicken. He’s got five toes but much larger than everyone else.
The next is four toes but very feathered on the feet and sweet natured. What breeds do y’all think?
When we brought home this "buff oprington" chick 4 months ago, we were certainly in for a surprise.
Not only is it clearly not a BO thanks to its huge comb and feathered feet, it's also 1/3 larger than the entire rest of the flock (even the 2 year old Welsummers), and we suspect it's a roo...
Hello! I have three hens and just discovered that one of them, my Light Brahma, has scaly leg mites. I turned to the Chicken Chick (http://www.the-chicken-chick.com/2013/03/scaly-leg-mites-in-chickens.html), and her gas dip treatment seems the fastest and most reliable. However, I'm nervous to...
