Let's see if this one is better...

I don't think you should be worried.. the heavier feathered legged breeds have an outside toe like that. There is a name for it but it eludes me at this moment... It isn't a fault.

sorry, I'm going one last time, then I give up

 

[stoopid]

I know it's some kind of genetic thing, didn't know if DQ..

 

[geebs]

No it isn't... It is a common trait in heavily feathered birds... Walt will know what it is called.. Just cant think this early... can't find my book. Don't be concerned about it.

Hey Kim: Can you remember the proper term for the short toe on heavily feathered birds??? It is posted in here somewhere...

 

[stoopid]

Yay! Another keeper! Thanks.

I'm lucky if I get past Portland, Oregon the last 4 years....it's been 8 years since we have been to California, but we LOVE the Tahoe's

Seattle is only about 2 hours from my house and I have spent more than my fair share of time in the Seattle area...I have tons of family there and on the islands of the Sound. Other than family, I have no special like for the Seattle area. It's just not my kind of town....but if there were going to be a huge chicken show there and everybody was going to be there..I think I could tolerate the big city for a couple days.
