What chicken breeds have feathered feet?
Brahmas, Cochins, Pekins, Faverolles and several other breeds have feathering on their legs or feet. The amount varies between breeds and individuals. Plan dry footing, check for mud and inspect skin and toes regularly. Select birds for suitability and temperament as well as appearance, especially if your run becomes wet in winter.
