Pink feet

If those are faverolles feet, that's beyond normal.

Is it just the cockerel? Pink feet at that age means he's ready to mate. I see that on cockerels and some adult roosters in all weather. I don't remember seeing it on pullets or hens but maybe I was just not looking.

I've read that if they live in wet, a really wet coop and/or run, their feet can turn pink but I've never seen that. Another reason a wet coop/run is unhealthy.

It's ok to LOVE your chickens. It really is!

Good, because I REALLY do! They were never intended for meat purposes, but the first time I took one to the vet I realized how deep I had fallen for them . Bye-bye profit margin and hello pet!

The run is wet, but the coop is dry!

I've seen it on both male and female. I've always been under the impression that it shows up in a bird that has system built up, and ready to go into high production.
