Hello! I ordered 20 chicks from a “Rare Breed Mix” from Hoovers Hatchery. I’m trying to identify some of them. I’ve got 4 of this breed. I’m just not sure what they are. They’re 2 months old. I’ve never had any Feathered feet chickens. 😄 Of course Hoovers has a list a mile long of what they “might” be. 😅
Would love a few opinions!
Please and Thank you!! 😃

Well, whatever you got we got four of the same from Hoover hatchery so I hope you find out what they are then I will know what mine are. Ours are six weeks old.
We also got three dark ones with feathered feet (Head is more brownish.) A type of marans?

Do you have pictures?
 
Four of ours look exactly like this. (I'm the world's worst picture taker. They're still in the garage. There are some dark feathered footed ones I'm thinking are some type of marans also. Should know when they lay an egg.View attachment 3501355
Haha! I meant pictures of the darker ones. BCM get copper hackles, but I wondered if you ended up with Cochins, if the head have brown on them.

Will try to get a picture later when I have someone to hold one. Otherwise they run all over, sort of like herding cats. I do have a bantam red/brown cochin and she is a fluffball. These aren't quite so fluffballish, but then they are young.

First three pictures are one of the dark ones (Three like this) and the final one is a dark one with clean legs. Any ideas?
