Someone mentioned 5-toe genetics. Anyone care to explain how it works? A 5-toed roo will result in how many 5-toed offspring? (%) A 4-toed roo crossed to a 5-toed hen will result in how many 5 toes offspring? (%)

Great, thanks! By blue, I meant blue/green. I guess colored would've been a better word choice. They look exactly like EE's, just with feathered legs (:. They are mostly black, except the the breast feathers have some gold/red/rusty coloring. The gold is more visible on the roo. We have one...
