Weird feet? How so? #5 (goldie) is an EE because of her muffs and beard (puffy cheeks). #6 doesn't have those.
ETA: Yes, no butt feathers is a roo, you need at least 5 girls for every boy in bantams, 8-10 for LF. But you can keep some of the boys seperate, or make seperate pens for the boys (think 5 pens) and have 2-3 girls each that way. If you have them all together you'd need 30-40 hens so no one gets overworked or picked on too badly
I'll take pictures of both's feet in the morning. I thought I had Isabeau's feet, but I only have Goldie's.
40 hens??? o lord. I swore I was going to stop at 20 total! lol
Only time they are all together is at night, as they free range the 5 acres we have.
