I think I have a little Pterodactyl

My young chicken has toes on both wings. Ive never noticed this on any of my others but they really are toes, with toe nails. Here is a pic the best I could do to capture how it looks. The toe with nail is directly under my thumb and forefinger.

Has anyone else ever notice this on their chickens?

You know paleontologists (sp?) say chickens are very closely related to dinosaurs. They even go so far as to say a T-Rex's closest living relative is a chicken.
If you google chicken and dinosaurs, there are a lot of stories in regard to this. Here are a few:

Maybe your little chick has aspirations of becoming a T-Rex!!

Thank you for the well-wishes for Fluffy and for all of you, the wealth of information related to this subject. It is quite fascinating, the relationship of chickens to dinosaurs. Its fun to share such and if anyone else has chicken anomalies to share, that would be really neat. or any other information on dinos and chickens.
