feathered foot/leg chickens

[mandapanda3186]

I only know of a few by name...silkies, cochin, brahamas D'uccles...

My question is, as a chick is there a way to tell them apart? I know silkies have 5 toes, black skin, etc. What about the others? Getting this info is like finding a needle in a haystack. Shooting in the dark. Thought id ask the experts

I got 4 from tsc today, trying to find the differences

Best way for us to tell is to post a pic of your chicks. Marans also have feathered shanks/toes, at least they should!

I'm on my Iphone and don't know how to get pics on. I go to uploads but my phone says uploads disabled. I've looked and looked but can't figure out how to fix that on my phone

Hmm, can't help ya with that one. I'm the only person in the world without a cell phone!

If you have a photobucket account then you can upload your pics to it and then post the html thing here. And you can do all that on your phone because I tried it on my iPhone 4.
