6 Toes

[Alliefisher]

One of my chicks has 6 toes on one foot! Do you think it hurts her/him?

Silkies have extra toes....does it have black feet?

 

[Alliefisher]

Ya they have black feet.

Then it is most likely a silkie and they have extra toes.

Thanks!

Can you post a picture? Even with the extra toe, I believe silkies still only have five. I would be interested in seeing a silkie with extra toes

I will post a picture, but it may take a while should I post a picture on a completly new post or a picture on a reply to this post?

It happens and it doesn't hurt the chick. I once had a polydactyl cat with 7 toes on each back foot and 6 on each front!
