Buff Orpingtons -heavy body - brown eggs - bare feet.

Araucanas - diverse colored eggs - bare feet.

There's really no way to show a picture of how she'll look as an adult, as there's no color or pattern preference for this breed. Just sideburn feathers."

Reisha, our Light Brahma is very very sweet. Yours will begin laying -late-, so you will have to be patient. Confinement makes their feet feathers very messy.

Clara, the Silver Spangled Hamburg, is charming, but kinda flighty. If you handle yours enough, that should help with that.

The Orpingtons are HUGE. I'll get a picture of Nadya and Phenix for you and post. Positively giants.

Good advice, thank you.

Any idea where those gorgeous water color prints come from?

Those are classic pictures whose source I do not immediately remember. However, I think that they are old enough to be in the Public Domain now. The APA may actually have them.

I never thought I'd say this, but those are some beautiful chickens.

I ended up with some very flashy breeds due to hatchery schedules - I wanted very calm brown egg layers and mostly I got them. I'm just in awe of the purdy-ness. :)

Foofie feets. Can't wait to see pix of your own. :-)

I am a sucker for feathered feets - they crack me up completely. Wait until I post feathered thighs - you'll crack up.

Chick pics later tonight.
