Hello all,
I am wondering if anyone knows what breed this chicken may be or what breed she is mixed with? She has black and yellow legs with 5 toes on each foot. I thought she was an Australorp until I noticed the extra toes, comb, and eye color. I got her as a 'hatchery choice' chick. Thanks...
Hey there, I'm usually a lurker on these foruma but I am becoming a first time poster because I've come across an odd situation with one of my new chicks.
I ordered four day old chicks for one of my hens to surrogate mother, they are currently 11 days old. The hen accepted all of them...
So while cuddling my chickens I recently noticed that my Ancona laying hen has 5 toes on one foot? She seems completely normally other than the fact that only one of her foot has an extra toe.
I've never had a rooster before, and "Mr. Featherly" is still adolescent, but his feathers are all white and curly and he's got five toes on each foot. I have another bantam hen that's gold and black with only four toes, is the five toes a rooster thing?
