Would you look at that

what kind of chicken is he/she?

 

[martintan]

I don't don't know what type of chicken it is but it looks like this.

Looks like there was a silkie in that pullet's background somewhere.

Six toes are not unheard of and are not unusual in 5-toed breeds. I had a few pop up in my Faverolles this past season.

Interesting, the chicken is a cross? Suppose there's Sultan or Silkie in the chicken?

WHOA!!!

When did that happen??? How did you not know?

My silkie roo was a mutt and had 6 toes on each foot. It's definitely a silkie cross.

Does it cause any trouble?

No. Not at all. Just a extra couple toes to clip. We didn't let him breed because we didn't want to carry on the mutant toe.
