Legs are supposed to be hairless. Can you take a pic Dahlisgrams? I mean, are we talking feathers on the hocks or shanks and toes?

I was honestly a little shocked to see the stubs! They're on the shanks but not the toes. I'll get some photos today and post them here.Legs are supposed to be hairless. Can you take a pic Dahlisgrams? I mean, are we talking feathers on the hocks or shanks and toes?
These were hatched from shipped eggs. I was thinking along the same lines. They're awfully sweet though.. the pullets will go into my laying flock.hmmmm...did you hatch their parents as well? iow, did they have the same leg feathering? I know it's discouraging, but if feathers grow in there is something funky going on in the genetics department, and I would not breed them.
Yep. Not that I am 100% clear on what Stiltiness is, but that is what I was thinking of when I saw the term. Lots of leg. I think we are looking for more of taper from the legs to the body. Not much in the way of drum sticks on him.Does anyone else think this is the "stiltiness?"

LOL - yes, we got the word from the UK standard as something that the cockerel is NOT supposed to be. :O)Well that makes visual sense to me. Ok, yup babymakes6, that boy has got no drumsticks! He is stilty (is that a word?).
