A little mystery chick with feathered legs. What could she be?

Thanks for those pics! I can see a bit of each in her, especially the Light Brahma, at this age at least. Everyone who comes to the farm picks her right out as their favorite.

Just found this thread and your girl is adorable! Shape wise she is almost identical to my d'uccle crosses. Mine are crossed with a silkie so are black skinned and black with a green sheen, but the feathering and shape are super similar.

This pic is them at around 3 months. I think that they are around 4 now, and their legs have feathered out a lot more! Great cross, whatever you got

Very cool indeed! What size are they? Can you get a pic of their feet? Our little chick has major feathers on her feet as you can see in some of the photos of her.

Nice! I can see both the D'Uccle and the Light Brahma in her for sure.

We would love another just like her also....unfortunately based on what the breeder told me was on his farm she may just be a one in a million mixture. I will send him an email asking if he ever gets another who looks like she did as a chick to let me know. ASAP!
