10 toed chick!!

I noticed today that my new 3 week old BR has split "thumb" toes. One is more divided than the other. I'm sure many have seen this, I just thought it was interesting.

Makes you wonder if it has silkie somewhere in the gene pool.

Silkie, sultan, or fraverole... I spelled the last one wrong.

He may have silkie or frizzle, the lady I got him from has both. His feathers are turning outword like they are out of place. Is this a common trait among these breeds. It doesn't bother me, may make him cuter.

I always spell that one wrong, so I just left it at silkie.

The feathers turning outward is the frizzle gene.

I sent an email to the lady I got him from asking if he could have frizzle. Just waiting on a reply. Curious to see.
