Congrats on the Chick!Hello again lol we hatched our first svart egg today and it’s got 5 toes on each foot! Is this from inbreeding? I was told the rooster and 3 hens were completely unrelated… but I’m pretty sure they’re only supposed to have 4
You got photos of the toes?
I'm not a genetics person, so if no one chimes in here about the toes, then start thread on the general breeds forum and ask about them.
There's 5 breeds that do have 5 toes - Dorking, Faverolles, Houden, Sultan and Silkie.
To me, having 5 toes on both feet would not be due to inbreeding, but having a breed that had 5 toes in the mix somewhere along the line. But I could be totally wrong.
