I can check when I get home if they have feathers on their legs. What exactly would that mean?
It just means they have not shaved their legs.

No really it helps determine the breed. Cochins and Brahma for example have feathered legs and 4 toes. Salmon Faverolle have feathered legs and 5 toes.
Those are just a few of the feather legged breeds.
Count their toes too...for one because they are tiny and cute BUT it will also help determine breed.
