Chick with five toes? Thoughts on breed?

Not everyday you hear someone say I hope it's a rooster! Good for you!
 
Some faverolle chicks are all yellow/ white as babies. I just ordered mine from cackle and their pictures and videos they have of their salmon fave chicks are all this color. Here's the link to the salmon fave page :
http://www.cacklehatchery.com/salfavpage.html. If you look in the video they have the chick he's holding has "vulture hocks". Hope this helps!

I just took another picture of her.. although she kept trying to fall asleep! It will be interesting to watch her grow and see what she is for sure

Do faverolles come in all white? Most of the pictures of chicks I've seen, once their wing feathers begin to come in, there's some color to them. But I really have no idea, I have no experience with them!

Yes, there's a White variety of the Faverolle breed. The chick in the OP appears to be a Faverolle.

Yes there is a white variety. But no hatchery has them. Ron Patterson had most of the remaining LF whites. A predator wiped out all but a juvenile pair last fall. I tried to ship the largest remaining flock of bantam whites west to the president of the Faverolles club just to have someone at FedEx put them on a flight with dry ice. One bantam pullet did manage to survive.
 
looks like a sultan to me too.

my sultan is so sweet. I got her last spring. She is one of my most friendly and docile chickens.
 
Well today she definitely has a bit of a "poof" on the top of her head, so I'm thinking she's a Sultan. Thanks for all your help everyone
