It depends on the quality of the other cockerels I'm feeding out. If I don't breed them, they'll go in the freezer. I did talk to their breeder and it doesn't sound like it's genetic. He hatched 100 chicks from the same cross and didn't get any bad toes. I hatch 9 and get 2 with them. Go figure. And I didn't notice any issues until they were a couple months old, so I think it's something that developed. These guys have more right with them than wrong, so as long as the toes don't pass on, I'm not too worried. Only downside is I can't show them.
