I got them from a friend at work. He is a 4H leader in Brimfield he also has a few chickens.Where did you get them from? They are beautiful. The pretty yellow looks to have feathered feet ( my eyes are bad though haha), so probably a Cochin, which are known to go broody, which is a good and bad thing. I also think the all black one has a Pea Comb? if so he is either a easter egger or ameraucana and you will get green or blue eggs perhaps. Are the chicks in the last pic White or Lavender? Maybe someone else can jump in on some others.
yes she does have feathers all the way down her legs. She is one of my favorites. The black one has a few feathers on its legs also. I also noticed that it's features have a blue sheen to them if that helps also.If you upload some individual pics, we can help identify. They white guy with black spots in the the bottom pic looks like a CA White and the buff colored chick in the middle looks like a Buff Orpington to me. Does she have feathered legs? If so, it's not a BO but maybe a Buff Brahma? Anyone else want to guess?
All my CCL x Brahma crosses had feathers so if the gene is recessive, how would that happen? Would that mean that my Brahmas were not pure bred and had some other feathered breed blood in them?I vote for Cochin . Simply because Brahma is supposed to have recessive feather leg gene . Most breeds have a dominant feather leg gene .
They always seem to go broody when the hatch is done already.Kind of excited.
It turned out to be a busy/crazy day. Husband and daughter are sick. Had the grandsons over til late. I took my daughter into the walk in Clinic at 6:00pm. Waiting forever, at 8pm, I texted home and asked my son to lock up the girls and boys for me. Gave instructions, who goes where and to do head count. Got home at 9:30 and went out to check and make sure everyone was in. That's when panic set in, 1 of the CCLs wasn't in the coop. Started calling for her, looking, nothing. So I check the nesting boxes and there she is. MY 1st BROODY! I was so busy today, I didn't get a chance to collect eggs and she is all over them. I am letting her sit for tonite. Trying to decide if I should try slipping the Orp chicks coming tomorrow under her. I also have 2 of my project eggs in lockdown, due to hatch Friday. I am hesitant because both were expensive purchases. Don't know if I should trust her with them. The other problem is, she is in the Favorite nesting box! Wish she went broody earlier
