I acquired some chicks from a breeder nearby recently. They're bantam cochins that I plan to add to my already existing bantam cochin flock. I noticed that the feet of one bird are different from the rest in that it has feathering on all toes. Cochins are only supposed to have feathering on their outer toe and the outside of their middle toe. The first picture is the chick with feathering on all toes, and the second is a normal chick (left for both is inside toe, right is outside). Will feathers come in where there is down If yes, what causes the excessive feather coverage?
