That is crazy, do you have a picture?

 

[happyhens44]

Well there both backwards, On each foot the same toes backwards. I read online that feathered feet chickens are more commenly for this is happen, unfortunality, I cant get a pic because its toes are sooo small and the only camera I have it my phone, which sucks but ill go online and see if I could fine a pic that looks Identical.

Are you sure it isn't a 5th toe, like a silkie?

I'm so sorry to hear about your chick.

I was searching "backwards toe" 'cause I noticed my bantam cochin frizzle and my faverolle/cochin bantam both have their outside toes just like that, with the tallon pointing up. I was wondering if it was a bantam cochin thing... since they're from totally different sources.
