I don't like the feathered feet on chicken's because they get dirty and clumped up. I tried silkies before, but didn't keep them for long. Mud, chicken poop, and whatever else get's tangled up in those feathered feet, because they walk right though them.

I wondered with our snow, if snow clumps would be a problem sticking to their feet. Sounds like it could be.

They're adorable little things!

I like the look of feathered feet but haven't ever had any birds that were.

I like the look but I’m wondering about mess like @BlueBaby mentioned. We’ll see though, my yard doesn’t have much dirt exposed now. I may try selling them when they’re at POL too rather than keep them, I don’t really know yet.

Or you might enjoy them so much, a little dirty foot is ok!

And have fun getting dried up poop out of the feathered feet?

Not for me, but it seems the feather footed breeds are popular among some.

Maybe, they’re terribly cute right now and pretty birds as adults.

I’ve read that some people trim their feathers when it’s rainy and muddy outside.
