Crowing
Today my polish silkie mix hatched (yay!) but after reviewing the video I got of it hatching I realized one foot has 5 toes and the other only has 4. I've never heard of this happening so I was wondering if anyone has any chickens like this? The chick is completely fine but I am curious, how would this happen? The only theory I can think of is that it absorbed a twin while incubating (if it were a double yolk) and the embryos had different numbers of toes however this doesn't make much sense because the egg is regular sized and I don't think it works like that lol. I did lose power during some pretty bad storms so the incubator was shut off for about 4 hours around the 7 day mark so maybe that had something to do with it
Anyway, I'd like to hear everyones thoughts!
