Cute! so the feathered feet do not need to be cleaned etc?
I got the eggs free when purchased my RIR hens and it good for incubator experiment. I am not doing any cleaning or trim the feather. It seems too much work. There is a lot of folk raising marans in the state and they do have feather feet as well. I do like clean feet chicken myself, but I can't complain for free hatching eggs. The chick currently in the main coup so will see how they are doing in next few months.
Do you have good luck with quails? How noisy are they when crow? I am consider raising some next year.
