Faverolles Chick: What do you think of her feet?

[flyingmonkeypoop]

She is so adorable. Her feet look pretty good as far as toe spacing and all. Her middle toe is bare like the standard calls for and her 5th toe curves upward like its supposed to. Hopefully she is a she, lol.

From what I can tell, and I'm not seasoned by no means, she has the best feet. And, hopefully, 'she' is a 'she'.

I also hope the two four-toed chicks are shes also. Then they can live a good life and lay some eggs for the breakfast meal. If they are roos I guess I'll have to litter train them and teach them some tricks so they can be pets to a country kid and not be culled.

What are the other chicks toes like? The one that didnt hatch had a Y shaped toe on one foot and 4 toes on the other.

Maybe I'll take photos of some other feet, if I get around to it. There are the two with four toes, though. Most of the other feet have the fourth and fifth toes in smaller form or not as developed as in the photograph above.

I remember one of the four toed chicks is so funny. I have seen some faverolles with short hind toes and I have seen one that had a fifth toe that looked like it was as long as its middle toe.

The toes and foot feathering look good. Middle toe feathering on a faverolle is a defect.
