I don't have a ton of experience but I just thought it was a little strange that this one chick has a double back claw lol It doesn't affect the chick but I was just curious how common this is?

If its a silkie, faverolle or dorking, it's a breed requirement. It's not out of normal though if it's anything else that's not an accepted breed. I have it pop up a good amount in my mixed flock

It's not a silkie, I thought California White but mine have black feet so maybe austra white, all the others have normal feet, I figured it's like a cat with a double paw 😂

Known as polydactil.. or a fifth toe.. as stated by others is a very common trait seen in several breeds.

Soemtimes seen only on one foot. And often with varying degrees of separation between those two upper toes.

Where from? Let's see more pics of the rest of the bird, to see if we can try and help discern breed or hybrid. :pop

@EggSighted4Life They are from Hoover Hatchery white with black spots, I got an assortment but these have to be some mix
