Common defects thread

I have a web-toed SL bantam cochin; if only I had a working camera....

Here is a black mottled cochin with black spots on what should be yellow feet

Here is greenish foot color on a bantam cochin, again should be yellow. Also missing middle toenail causing points off in a show

BTW--love this thread! Thanks Bluemottie for starting it!

I think this is a great thread-thougth I'd revive it.

Polydactyly (multiple toes), polyphalangy ( split toe)and syndactyly (toes fused together) in the same mixed breed (unknown) day old standard sized cockerel chick.
The back toe on the chick's left leg is 2 toes fused, the back toe on the right leg is split, with 2 nails.
This chick is 10 weeks old now, he's not bothered by his feet at all, he can roost, run and scratch.
Apparently you can get very messy feet when 4 and 5 toed breeds are crossed and I suppose this is what's happened here.
