Bantam Sultans

[Frannabelle]

I ordered several Bantams, including 2 Sultan Bantams. One of the chicks only has 4 toes, but otherwise looks exactly like the other with 5 toes. I got them from efowl.com, so am not sure what hatchery they came from.
My question, can bad examples of Sultans only get 4 toes?

yup

Yes, it is a disqualifying fault. I wouldn't recommend breeding from the 4-toed bird.

thanks for the info. I didn't realize that 4 toes happened, always thought 5 toed birds always had 5 toes.
