HELP! What the heck?

[Chicken Chicken Love]

My chicken is growing an extra nail on one of her toes[ not a foot, not a toe, a nail]! She is a Crevecoeur and she is a little over 6 months and she just started to grow it. Also, it isn't a spur because it is growing off one of her toes in the front of her foot. Does it hurt her? Has anyone had a chicken like this or heard of it? Should I do something or leave it?

I found this old BYC thread that may be helpful.

It’s probably just a defect, if it isn’t hurting him then you don’t have to worry.

They can sometimes grow odd stuff, cells get twanked during development.
