Feather footed polish?

[yotetrapper]

I picked up some day old polish at a local swap and didnt notice till I got home that 2 were feather footed. At the tiime I was figuring those ones were probably crossed with a cochin or something, but now that they're a month or so old, they look pure polish to me except for the feathered feet.... anyone see one before? Think it's a mutt? Wonder what it was/is crossed with?

Disregard the purple mohawk, lol, it's blue kote from a near scalping she (?) suffered....

Maybe a Silkie x Polish cross? I think it would be wonderful to have feather footed Polish....
What is the texture of the feathers like?

How many toes does it have?
Sultans can look like a Polish but have 5 toes and feathered feet.
If any thing I would be she is either a Sultans or a Sultans / Polish cross.

You have Sultans not polish.

well depending if they have the 5 toes. if tehy have 5 toes then sultans.

Hmmm interesting. I'll go out and count toes here in a bit. Was hoping it would stop raining but not looking good lol.

Ok, the two feather footed ones DO have 5 toes. The other six that look like Polish have 4..... I wonder, then, if they are all polish/sultan crosses, or if I simply have two sultans and 6 polish?

The others are likely polish. Post pics to know for sure.

Dang, I was getting excited, thinking someone had come up with a polish for feather footed breeds. I should probably mink oil my Brahmas, we just got over 2 inches of rain in the last few hours.

If 5 toes are present, then you have a Sultan. Very nice, I've always prefered them to Polish. Their dispositions have always been better for me.
