All y'all silkie people. I got questions!!

[_-Captain BRM-_]

So I was just giving my silkie Roo a bath, *hehe* and I noticed some weirdish things on him. So of course he has 5 toes and is growing spurs, but two of his toes (counting both sides) don't have nails?! Is that normal? He also has two red scabbish things on his wings in the same place near his body. Normal?? This is my first time raising a roo this old so maybe this is perfectly normal. Pics will be coming in a second, I just don't want him to freak out in my house while he's drying

So these are the feets... Why he missing a nail?!

He must have lost it. Some of my chickens have that.

And this is the red sore ish thing... Now that I'm seeing it closer doesn't look like such a big deal. But just feathers coming in or something else?? He is almost a year old.

But on both of the same toes?? And on both sides? So this is not normal for silkie or anything?

Maybe it's just a defect. Thor has the same toenail missing on both feet

I'd post about that separately somewhere else.

Mine too.

The nails missing I think is normal. I have a silkie hen that's missing a nail on one of her back toes. I think it's just a thing he was born with. There is also the possibility that he lost the nails at some point, but it would be a weird coincidence that it's the same toe on both feet.
