5 toed baby?

[LinzeeBrie]

Hello! This is just a curiousity question, not of real importance Are there quite a few breeds with 5 (feathered) toes? We have no idea on this little one's parentage, but his big long backwards toe sure sets him apart from the others!

" Dorking, Faverolle, Houden, Sultan, and Non-bearded Silkie Bantams, all of which have five toes."

I would guess a houdan. Where did you get her?

I bought cheapie incubators from a local hobby farmer, and she included some eggs. She's got an abundance of variety running around her farm and doesn't know much about breeds
(When I asked her about this, she ran outside to check her chicks and was flabbergasted to find some with 5 toes )
S/he hatched out of a BCM coloured egg, so probably the roo would be the 5-toe gene carrier?

Quite possibly
