5 Toed Feather Footed Chicken?

[Griffin Nest]

I have hatched a 5-toed brown patterned chick from shipped eggs from someone with a mixed flock and I don't know what breed it could be! It also has feathers on its feet.

If it is from a mixed flock then it is a mixed breed. We need pictures to have any ideas on possible parentage. Only a few breeds have 5 toes - silkies, houdans, faverolles, sultans and dorkings - so one parent is likely one of those.

Agreed - photos will help, you may also want to ask the person from whom you purchased the eggs which of these breeds they have in their flock.

I also recently bought 2 chicks at Atwood's and they have 5 toes with feathers on their legs and a top-not or tuft on their head. They are solid white. Any guesses as to their bread would be appreciated.

White legs and skin would be sultans and dark legs and skin would be silkies.

Thank you, they must be Silkies! Their legs are dark bluish.
