frizz Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 My pekin Lucy is now about 19 weeks, this picture was taken two weeks ago. Are the size of her feet feathers normal, they are about three time the size of the others I have. They have even grown longer since this picture was taken, they are huge!!! bless her, she sounds like an old woman shuffling along in slippers. lol.

Janty Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 I have a young pekin with huge foot feathers as well. However, we do suspect that she is half something else (possibly barbe d'uccle) as she is smaller than the others and none of my other pekins are blessed with such abundant feathering. She came from an egg we hatched that was given to me by a breeder. She's lovely whatever she is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 They are certainly more spectacular than my three Pekin's feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlotta Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 A couple of my 15 weekers have similar feet feathering, I supect it looks bigger than normal, but in reality it's just cause the rest of the chicken has yet to catch up!! Mine are still quite narrow in the body compared to my big girls - they haven't got all their body-fluff yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
