[Shaggy chicken]

I know this is early but, what kind of chicks should I get in the spring time the one with the most wins (has to be a chick)

 

[PolkaDot77]

Any kind of Cochin! They are the sweetest and friendliest of all chickens I have had.

What's your intent on having them? Eggs? Meat? Pets? Show?

If you want to show them make it a beautiful polish hen.

Cochins show very well. They are 1 of only 2 breeds that have feathered feet and are super easily handled.

Didn't realize that! I had read somewhere that only Cochins and Brahmas have feathered feet. I suppose I meant fully feathered feet. I know of several others with sort of partially feathered feet, like Salmon Faverolles and Langshans. What other breeds have fully feathered feet? Thanks!
