Chick with 5 toes (PICS ADDED)

It is awkward looking. But it also looks a bit ragged because of it's previous conditions. When I saw it at the store, it was in a 12x12 cage with about 20 very young silkie chicks. It was frantically running in circles as the silkies pecked at it mercilessly. So it's half bald at the moment. I really hope it's a girl cause I can't keep roosters, but i couldn't just leave it in that cage. Plus I liked it's mohawk. It goes well with my other crested chick which has an afro. so I have named them Moey and Froey. They are just listed as "Crested" in the feed store.

This is Froey

Looks like a Houdan. They also have 5 toes. Lucky you!

You can check out pictures of Houdans at Feathersite, Poultrypages, MPC or just google it.

Are you referring to the first picture or the second one? The chick in the second picture only has 4 toes. And are there any other characteristics I can look for? All it said at the store was "crested" and it was in the same cage as the second chick. None of the others that I noticed had 5 toes.

For a Mottled Houdan it is.

wow, interesting. Thanks everyone for your help. Does this chick look like a houdan as well? What breed do you think it is? Pardon the hand.

Sorry the first picture is the houdan(I'm positive by the way. I can post pictures of houdan chicks if you want me to). The second one is a Polish, it looks like a blue Polish to me.

Here are some pictures of houdan chicks from my birds.

Unfortunately, I don't seem to have any pictures of my blue Polish as a chick. Yours, no matter what the color, is very beautiful.
