Can anyone tell me how to trim the leg feathers on our chickens?

I've included a picture. We don't know what breed they are but they have feathery legs that are getting dirty from the wet grass and dirt. I've also added two to show their size in relation to the others. They are only small chooks.

They're bantam mottled Cochins. I'd just leave the foot feathering alone.

You have Mottled Cochin (or Pekin) Bantams. I've never heard of anyone trimming their foot feathers. Yes, they do get dirty but it won't hurt them.

Thanks, we will leave them alone.
