Thank you all for helping to solve our elderly-spurred-chicken mystery.
To answer everyone's questions:
We only received the 2 new silkies yesterday and one has provided an egg this morning. Could be the chicken in question or her un-spurred companion.

Thank you for the quick reply. I have attached a full body photo... hope this helps.

She is 6months old. Doesn't seem to have a large wattle etc. But these weird 'toe-things' don't have nails.
Thoughts? Thanks.
