OH that's interesting, thank you for showing this thread. Very much appreciated, so I'm not the only one with this oddity. o3o I see it is definitely a different breed so, maybe it is something that pops up in ducks on the occasion? I don't know but thank you.
Ah, yours didn't have any at all present? Even if they didn't, I find all the welsh very cute and pretty.
No foot feathers, mine were Metzer origins. I love welshies, plan to get more once I grow out my saxonys and possibly get some calls l.
Yes, that last photo with the foot is definitely what I am seeing in all my other ducks. When I received these babies, I was just wow, my first ducks ever are here. Nothing out of the ordinary was seen in them. It's only when they got to be around a month old was when I noticed this popping up in all my duckies which has me a bit amazed. I was at the very most expecting what you were basically saying! But feathers on the legs? I was never suspecting this kind of trait at all. Not once.
Its really neat! You got lucky ducks hahah!
Ah, I was considering Metzer but I chose McMurray first. I might be doing Metzer next year for other breeds or to get a welsh drake as well. Feathers was the least expected thing to have been suspected amongst these breeds I've been looking into!
I most certainly did! Which has me very excited to see how they turn out when they get older. I really want to have more of this feather trait. I really thought this was something only seen in chickens and pigeons, doves other birds etc... I have several chickens, some purebred light brahmas and mixed brahmas all of which have feet feathers. I hope to get cochins next. But now? Ducks with feet/leg feathers is just my newest craze cause wow.
