I would like to keep Brahma's but OH is put off by the feathered feet.    He feels that the feathered feet on mud could cause problems.  We are contemplating concreting the new run we are building but I'm not sure I like the idea of the chooks not being able to scratch.  :blink:

Do the feathered feet cause problems on mud?  What are your thoughts on concreted areas? 

Thanks

I have sabelpoots with feathered feet and had no problems - if they do get mud balls stuck on their feathers then it is just a case of soaking them

Have to say - I saw a picture of a Sabelpoot for the first time the other day - they look lovely!

I breed brahmas and although they can get very muddy never had any real problems
you have to make sure they don't get all clogged up and because of their feathered legs keep a close eye for scaly mite but brahmas are such gentle loving birds they are definitaly
worth considering
also keep silkies and faverolles..........................just something about feathered legs
