What Breed is this?

Hi I was wondering what breed is my Chicken. I know she is a girl, and I was also wondering if its normal to have feathers on her legs? Thanks!

She is a brahma. And yes, those feathered feet are completely normal.

I know it's a little late, but

I agree with Mountain Peeps. The feathered feet and legs are a breed characteristic.

You have a hatchery stock Light Brahma! They are a large, pea combed, feather footed breed. They are extremely cold-hardy, docile, and lay large brown eggs. I love my Brahmas!

Her stance has me a bit concered though. Is she hunched down due to being on a slippery surface or does she carry herself that way normally? It looks like she is either in molt or being over-bred (I am leaning towards over-bred with those missing head feathers). Make sure she full has access to calcium (crushed oyster shells) to help her grow back her feathers.

It is a Light Brahma.
