He is definitely not a Silkie, he has regular white feathers growing in on his wings, and yellow skin.

I think we have it figured after a ton of research referencing pics that are better than the ones on the hatchery's site. I'm leaning towards Porcelain d'Uccle o the buff winged one,and a white Cochin on the white winged one, for whatever reason expressing the 5-toed gene. So, total count is: 1...

They are all bantams from TSC, Privett Hatchery.

It makes me wonder, too, about the likelihood of it being present in both feet. Maybe that's how it works? The feet aren't strange looking at all, they look like perfect 5-toed feet. I sent a pic of the little guy to the hatchery to see if they will be able to tell what is going on.I do know one...

I'm starting to feel confident that chick #2 is a bantam white Cochin with extra toes. Does that frequently happen?

Thanks!! I think that looks very much like chick #1! Awesome... I don't think chick 2 is a Sultan, I have raised them before andhe doesn't seem to have the head bump like my others did. I'm glad I decided to take him, he is providing us with a lot of guesswork entertainment. :)

Yikes...I sure know how to pick them. lol I love the mystery of the mystery chicks, but figuring out what they are is the other fun part and I am making no headway on these two.O_o

He is actually a bit sturdier looking than the d' Uccles, japanese and others he is in with, and somewhat squatty.

I know, that's why he is a mystery to us. Maybe just a Cochin with genetic aberration causing the extra toes? It seems doubtful, but I have no idea what else he might be. We just call him Duck, because his down is so much more coarse and duckling-like than the others!

He does have puffy cheeks, and we were wondering about salmon favorolle, actually! The second one, the Cochin lookalike with 5 toes is still a mystery to us.

? bump!

Single comb on both, very small on the first one. The first one is also of a slighter build and softer down than the second one. #2 feels kind of cottony and is beefier, and very placid. I'd think cochin on him if it wasn't for the fifth toes.. Also these were from a TSC that said they...

Single comb

But his feathers are coming in buff colored?

We picked up 6 little ones today, and I know I have a Black Japanese, 2 blue d'Uccles, and likely OEGB, but this fellow is a mystery to me. He has 4 toes. We were trying to avoid Cochins, but I guess if he is the one Cochin of the group I am ok with that. lol Anyone recognize this breed...
