Sorry, I edited the post, it's same toes on both feet!!
She eats and is active. But I noticed that she is mellower, and lays down more then the rest. I have never seen her on the roost.

Being that she is missing parts of a toe on BOTH feet I would just say she is your special girl!!! She is like lady gaga- "born this way" she will probably have balance issues or develop a little slower than your other chickies. my white cochin was a little developmentally slow... she always had balance issues and was always running into things. we werent sure if it was the feathers on her feet or just her nature! now she is the biggest, fluffiest, of our flock and I wouldnt say she is the "mother hen" but not a single bird will mess with my Hennie. She is my bad-*** fluffy girl. (she is still spastic sometimes!)

HAHAHAH edit! so funny that it automatically **** my bad word! Sorry BYC! didnt mean to curse!

Thanks!! She is very friendly, I noticed that she "flys" a lot more places then the others... We have a ramp to the outside yard and she won't walk down it, she flys over it!!
