She is very cute!!! . I love the feathers.

Birdgirlz mentioned columbian brahma. I have been trying to do a little research on the breed and it appears that they mature slower then other breeds so this may be right since Roxy has virtually no comb and the slow feathering.

I agree with that! Sometimes they insist on fighting no matter what, but usually without hens to fight over they are more peaceable. The breed matter a lot too.
I think the Cochins are very, very peaceable birds.
No matter what you need to put and keep them together from the time they are little, putting big guys together is usually a wreck!

You know I might just be barking up the wrong tree, or breed! I just figured they were some kind of Cochin, I'm not familiar with any other kind of feathered footed/legged bantys. I mean that don't have muffs or beards.
It will be fun to keep track with pictures and also with some of the others pictures. Having a good time either way!
Thanks for all the input!

They are all very beautiful, sometimes they don;t have that feathering on the middle toe, if you are not showing them, no biggie! Enjoy them, they look to be a colorful flock!!!

Yes that's what it is all about. We love chickens and they bring us great joy and hours and hours of entertainment.
I always want to breed for the very best quality I can but you have to work with you have and with what you can afford at the time.
The little "pet" chickens are loved every bit as dearly and sometimes more than the most gorgeous, correct show bird.

They bring a lot to our lives whether pretty or down right ugly [some naked necks and Frizzles come to mind]
I thank God for my chickens, and for all the critters He has blessed me with.
I pray all of you can be as happy with your birds as I am.
