Fur 'n' Feathers

Do chickens ever need to wax their legs?

Recommended Posts

Our new Maran Cuivree Pitsilatha had marks on her legs when we got her. On closer inspection last week it turned out to be little hairy bits that make her legs look freckly from a distance.

 

Today on closer inspection she now has a number of tufts of feathers where the hairy bits were.

 

Will these disappear as she matures, or will she need to wax in the future? :lol::lol::lol::wink:

Most Marans blood is from France and true French Marans will have full on feathery legs, I have a beautiful French Copper Black Marans and she has proper feathery legs like a Pekin :lol:

 

It makes sense that marans hybrids and the English Marans will often throw up one with fluffy legs
