Extra toes on White Laced Red Cornish chicks...???

Here's some more pics. In the bottom image four of them are in the middle. They're mixed in with a group of fibro EE and Hmongs from my breeding pens.

So I got 12 White Laced Red Cornish pullets from Ideal poultry a couple weeks ago. All are healthy and thriving, but today I noticed that a couple of them have FIVE toes on each foot. Does this mean they're not pure Cornish, or are is this typical of hatchery quality birds? LOOK!!! lol

i would say they have an ancestor with extra toes,probably a grandparent if the match their breeds description otherwise.or they got miss identified or subbed at the hatchery. i have had mostly good, healthy chicks when i get them through the hatchery, but i know that they have subbed other similar breeds in many of my orders. i don't show chickens so it doesn't bother me but i have some really interesting chickens in my flock
