How dirty do feathered footed Breeds featherd feet get?

[Maximus]

I like feathered Footed breeds but my chickens stay in a run all the time so how dirty do the feathers on the feet get? Thanks

It would depend on how muddy your run is and on the chicken. I have a small pen with 4 cochins and a silkie in it. It got very muddy in the spring, we had a lot of rain. The 3 cochin hens and the silkie got rather muddy. The cochin roo... you would think he was kept in the house! Hence his name... Pretty Boy! lol

My run is only muddy if it rains pretty hard.

Depends on the bird somewhat. We have white bantam Cochins. Some are just filthy looking, some are snow white always. If it's muddy, they get muddy, but all our chickens get muddy.

My run is covered, so my feather footed gals are never dirty.

Depends totally on the conditions they're kept in.
