Thank you. I appreciate that!

Also, I was looking through my phone and found some pictures of her back toes that I think show the issue a little better. They are from a few weeks ago.

@kurby22 just tagging you as well so you can see. No need to reply if you have no comment.

Never thought I would be taking or uploading this many pictures of chicken feet in my life but here I am!

Mine has her 5th toe stick up too

But are both of the back toes up like my chick's are? I'm just trying to figure out if this is okay or not.

I’ll try to get a good pic…if only she will stay still

Oh jeeze now I'm getting everyone to send me their chicken foot pics. I promise there is nothing weird going on here!!!

But in all seriousness, thank you! Any info helps. I'm brand new to Faverolles and to chicks in general.

Here’s a couple of just her feet. She was walking but you can still see the last toe poking up:

Oh yeah I can see that! It still kind of looks like the smaller toe is touching the ground though, at least from what I can see. Does she do okay with roosting at night?

She was the first one to learn to roost! Lol. I thought the 5th toe looked weird because it isn’t flat down like the rest, but I’m pretty sure it’s normal after looking at pics of other SF!

I wondered if that was possible, but figured she was just hatchery quality I think the beard looks so much more fun when it’s white and contrasting against the darker feathers

I so far love my Orloff too! She isn’t very spangled yet, but I know the first molt usually changes that some. I read a lot about how they’re so independent and not cuddly and such but she’s been just as sweet as my SF and she’s adorable she was also the most adorable baby hehe. I definitely recommend them to beard loving chicken people

Polly’s beard went from this:

To this:

I absolutely need an orloff!!! Bearded and muffed chickens are my absolute favorite which is why Ameraucanas, Faverolles, and D’Uccles are my favorite haha. Hopefully Orloffs will be added to that list soon!!! Where did you get yours?
