Is this normal? Sexing trick? Or defect?

My barred rock is missing a toe nail... The other has one.

I had a polish who was missing a toe nail I think its a side affect of in-breeding.

Defect for sure, if it was born like that, lol

I have had birds lose a nail before, sometimes it grows back, sometimes it don't

From the overall color I'm not so sure it's a she. It may be the color, I don't usually see them from the bottom lol. Maybe post a profile pic for gender conformation?
