Cockeral or pullet. 20 weeks old mixed farm Chicken

[TheOddOneOut]

I have a brood of half cochins right now and every single one of them has feathered feet.

See?
Most mixes with floof-footed parents have some leg feathers.

I could just be seeing them everywhere cause I've been talking a lot about the breed lately, but could she be a blue laced red Wyandotte cross?

Doubtful. Thought not impossible. Her comb is a pea, not a rose or walnut, which is what I’d expect from that cross.

As for feathered legs, she could be a second generation Brahma mix. I’ve also seen plenty of hatchery birds with very few feathers on their feet.

But still, very few things point that way.

Well, hopefully the OP will update when she lays an egg.

Don't know the breed but she is beautiful!

I would assume that a Brahma mix would have at least a feather or two on their feet/shanks.

True, but she could be like 1/3 Brahma, then she might not.

Yeah, the pea comb doesn't really fit if the Wyandotte parent was bred to standard, but I have run across them (Wyandottes) with single combs from hatchery stock.

Well she's got slate legs and a pea comb, from what my poor eyes can see. What fits for that? My buff Brahma has yellow legs and a pea comb, but I don't know if dark Brahmas are different.

What makes her look like a Brahma to you?

 

[TheAlrightyGina]

She does kind of have that "I'll kill you" Brahma stare going on, though.
