I believe these two are from a breeder. I got them from a local 4-H kid who wanted to show them, but they had some feathers on their legs when they were little. They don't seem to have the extra feathers anymore, not sure if that would make a difference to anyone or not. I really like them, they were a lot of fun to raise but I am not liking the bantam breeds much. It is important that they go together they are super bonded and get upset when not together. Hope this helps!

Haha, It's a pretty small world! I think that "local 4-H kid" you got them from is me

Actually I'm not in 4-H, but yes they had feathers on their legs when they hatched and I want to breed away from that. You say that their feathers are gone now? Hmmm, that is interesting.
I just hatched 4 chicks from the same parents that all had clean legs so I'm pretty happy with that, but those 2 little feather legged sure stumped me!

Wow, this is a small world! They are turning out to be beautiful birds! We love them very much, I am still on the fence about parting with them. Bantams just seem to be alot more flighty than I like, even with daily handling.

B RIR are not. In my opinion they are calmer than the LF RIR.

They are much calmer than the standard RIR. Bantam Leghorns are also very calm and friendly, unlike the Standard Leghorns. Bantam sussex are also quite calm.

I have a few birds that I am looking to find homes for. They are pet birds that don't meet the breed standards or are crosses. They will make good 4-H birds, though or very nice pets.

Lucy: She was shipped to us by accident with an order of meat birds. I'm not certain of her breed, but she appears to be either a Bantam Welsumer. She is not a small bantam, but not a large fowl either. Sort of in between. she is very friendly and will do most anything for a treat. A good showmanship prospect. $5.00

Henna: A bantam Favorelle cross that is a very interesting color. She has feathered legs and is quite easy to handle. She will make a good 4-H bird or a pet for those wanting to add a cool color to their flock. $5.00

Johnny: A pure breed Salmon Favorelle I got from Peacedove. He is very sweet and friendly, but my other roos pick on him. He will make a good 4-H bird, but he is very heavy to hold for a long time. He is free to whomever can give him a good home.

The Boys: 3 bantam cochin/ bantam Brahma cross cockerals. They are very cool colors and very friendly birds. They will make good 4-H birds and are quite beautiful. I have two light brahma patterned boys and one blue salmon type patterned bird. These guys are free to whomever is interested. I do want to see them be pets at least.
