I have six chicks rigt now that hatched last week. three from each of my hens. One of the chicks i noticed has little white feathers growing on its legs. Now ive never heard of gamefowl with feathered legs. I looked it up on google and as i thougt it means there was some feathered leg blood in my hen? Or rooster? Somewhere back down the line. Ive read a few threads that said there was or is a line of hatch that has feathered legs but rare. A lot of otheres stated theyve had the same thing happen but everyone i read said the feathered leg gamefowl have been their ACES. I guess time will only tell for sure but has anyone else had this happen or seen, heard of it before? What should i do? Cull it? Im happy i got these birds and all. It gave me something to do and i enjoyed it.i had a feeling that longer neck hen wasnt pure gamefowl. Theres something about her that isnt right with gamefowl hens.

I'd cull never heard or would want anything feather leg. I'd cull or otherwise rid myself of what ever was associated with that chick. But that's just me.

U paid for these didn't you? I mean if it's just for your pleasure it's alright. If u like them keep them

i agree with sdm111. Cull them all or keep em just to have some chickens. I certainly wouldn't breed them again unless you don't mind having mixed layer/games. I wouldn't trust anything that came from the same place.

As for right now and these specific chickens. Its just for pleasure and for my kids. I dont plan on doing much with these particular birds now anyways. I have a pair of oscar akins lacy roundhaeds if they are what they said they were. He gets all his stock from oscar akins and rick bohn. i got these birds from NVS Warbirds in gridley ca. They advertise on sabong and a few other gamefowl breeder sights. Ive sen a lot of his birds spar and they look pretty good. Im just kinda heartbroken that the guy would do me this way but im not suprised. Everyone ive tried to buy gamefowl from has tried to screw me. Really starting to piss me off. Not to mention giving gamefowl breeders a bad name. I understand the nature of the beast but ripping someone off never gets anyone anywhere. ******* chicken pedlers anyways.

Yeah it sucks. And just a thought as far as feather leg aces. How could I put this lets try, I don't really know how secure a roosters "jewelry" could be with feathers all in the way. Of course talking about back in the day.
