My babies arrived today, and I can only assume this little gal is the one chick I selected from My Pet Chickens “Rare Breed Assortment.” (Before anyone mentions, I understand the assortment name can be misleading — I was just excited for a surprise)

Anyway, can anyone help identify the breed of my 5 toed friend?

Hmm silkies have 5 toes but they have black skin. So it's probably not a silkie

Based on the face and the feet, I'm guessing this:
https://www.mypetchicken.com/catalog/Baby-Chicks/Blue-Favaucana-p1487.aspx
"Favaucana" is a cross between Faverolles (5 toes, feathered feet) and Ameraucana (muff/beard).

The Rare Breed Assortment did not list Favaucana, but did say they could include other breeds.

Well, that solved the mystery! I ordered a Favaucana but didn’t realize they carried the 5th toe gene.

Looks like one of the others is my mystery chick
