Can anyone tell me if Ayam Cemanis have 5 toes? I was given 2 chicks, though still not sure exact breed, that where said to be silkies at first. They are about 10 weeks old now and definitely not silkies! I posted a poc on here and was told ayam cemani, still not sure though. They are solid black but my rooster, Scratch, has 5 toes. I haven't been able to find anything about ayams having 5 toes or not...please help!

A friend of my mom gave us Easter Egger (not sure on th spelling) eggs to hatch out, one of them has hatched and has five toes. Maybe shes a cross between a few breeds of chickens that have five toes. (i.e. Silkie, Easter Egger, or other breeds I've seen in other replies)

The fifth toe might just be an anomaly. Silkies are supposed to have 5 toes on each foot but sometimes are born with 4 toes each foot or sometimes 4 toes on one foot and 6 toes on the other foot. As your Easter Egger grows up you'll be able to tell if she might be mixed with a 5-toe breed or just has an anomaly of 5 toes. Show us a photo and some of us might be able to offer ideas.
