Polydactyly is a common enough mutation in most animals. There are several breeds where it's the breed standard, but it CAN just randomly crop up as a mutation. Silkies and Dorkings have 5 toes as SOP right off the top of my head but I'm sure there are others. It would also be possible for a cross to carry 5 toes, even if they mostly look like a Leghorn.I have a pure white pullet with 5 toes. i thought only silkies and the like had 5 toes.
