Chick with five toes? Thoughts on breed?

[CedarAcres]

I just got this free chick from my feed store yesterday. They thought that they gave me a light brahma, but once I actually took a look at her, she didn't look like one. She has five toes, feathered feet & legs. She's white, even though you can't really see in the photos. She has pink skin. I'm thinking that maybe she (or he?) is a Sultan because of the five toes & feathered feet. It seems like she has a little puff starting on the top of her head as well.

I thought there were only three breeds with five toes & feathered feet: Sultans, Faverolles, and Silkies. She's definitely not a Silkie. Any thoughts on what she might be? Sultan or otherwise?

Looks like a Sultan to me.

Well we can probably rule out Silkie, but not silkie mix, because of the solid feathers on the wings. I am leaning towards Faverolles, sultans usually have more of a puff. Sure is cute though whatever it is!

One of the confusing things is that since the feed store's chick day was over, they mixed a lot of the chicks with only a few left in one bin. There were a lot of polish crested birds in the bin she came from. I wasn't paying too much attention since I was just happy they were giving me another chick for free. I got most of my chicks from them this year, and as far as I know, they don't usually carry sultans, faverolles, or silkies! I'm not sure which hatchery they used this year either.

Whew that is a bit confusing! I don't typically get my chicks from them, just way to risky!

 

[CedarAcres]

I agree! I pre-ordered all mine and picked them up right when they came in so everyone was exactly who they were supposed to be. Oh well, I don't mind a little mystery for just one of them

 

[Megan Amber]

That's cool I didn't know you could do that! Sure is a pretty little mystery though!

Houdans and Dorkings also have 5 toes, but it's neither of those. It's a Sultan.

It's a faverolle. I just ordered 5 of those little guys. They have 5 toes, feathered feet, beards and muffs just like your little chickie

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!
