Patridge bantam chicken poorly foot?

[tom123]

Help! In the spring I am getting 4 new bantams at POL or maybe a little younger but i don't know what breeds to get!

 

I had my heart set on Pekins but would their feathered feet be a problem, anyone had experience with this?

 

My brother wants a Light Sussex bantam so at the moment it is probably going to be...

 

2 Pekins

1 Light Sussex (Bantam)

1 ????

 

Can anyone think of another breed??? Bantam of course!

 

I like the Rhode Island Red Bantams but I don't know???

 

Help!

 

Thanks

Tom, I know nothing about this chap, but I was browsing the web the other day and came aross his site, and I just remembered thinking how smart the Wyandotte and Vorwerk Bantams were. Again, I know nothing about the breeds! But have a look:

Hi Tom,

How about a Speckled Sussex bantam? I have one and she is absolutely gorgeous and a lovely little character.

i love pekin bantums, dont worry about the feathered feet.

 

i have got 2 french copper marans with feathered feet and it isnt a problem, although they are not bantums ( i just love pekins hope to get 2 soon )

 

i am sure they will be fine whatever you choose
