Momma is a Barred Rock.
Daddy came from my Easter Eggers. Americauna/Aracauna. Whatever you call it.
None of my birds have feathered feet. What!? How???

Aren't EE mixed breed birds? Maybe a feathered foot was in there. but not seen in the dad.

O MY GOODNESS

Cute though!!!!!

Did you get your birds just recently? If so maybe before you got them the hen was fertilized by another rooster.

 

[chickfillhay]

Nope. I raised them from the egg. The barred rock I purchased as a 3day old chick from a breeder.

Interesting must be they have a recessive gene.

My EE's are feather-footed so it's probably a recessive gene.

They say with barred rocks you can tell the gender from the chick by its coloration. Like a white spot on its head. Is this true?
