I have a blue hen that does not look like a silkie, but has 5 toes. Are silkies the only chickens that have 5 toes?

hasn't laid any eggs, but the red one behind it lays light brown eggs
 
She's a Dorking cross.

Her color is a duckwing based color (which Dorkings have) but there's blue in there, so something else is in the mix too. But otherwise, Dorkings have five toes, single comb, more meaty body, and clean shanks/face.
 
She looks similar in color to my hen that also has 5 toes. The experts determined that mine is a Dorking cross as well.
