Silkie with an extra toe?

Date sort Score sort
i would ;ike to i know that people bread a;; different kinds i have partridge and cuckoo ones and some white ones and iv only seen those and blue and buff and splash never heard of any others
 
I just hatched out some buff, splash, and blue. I think blue. But how do you tell the difference between blue/black/grey silkies? Oh and one of my silkies hatched with 2 toes connected, so it looks like 4 toes instead of five. Here's a pick of him/her, if anyone can tell me, thanks!

Hello, I haven't posted anything here before but I just need to know if my silkie chick that only had four toes on each foot will be affected in any other way, she is a bit smaller than the other two but they all seem fine.... Thanks

I have a hatchery buff silkie hen who is a "Niner"--four toes on one foot, five on the other. Overall she's not a great quality silkie, she's got a scant crest, no beard, not especially heavy leg feathering. But, for my purposes ( a broody hen), she's fine. She's not show quality, but she makes a good momma and she's a good layer when she's not brooding....
