I love silkies. I have admired them for a long time and got lucky enough to purchase 6 of them this past week. One of them doesn't have any feathers on the legs, is this normal or possibly not a silkie?

Well I'm not quite sure about that, one of mine has only four toes on each of its feet

Silkies have five toes and black skin. They could be mixes, which of course produce adorable birds!!

They all have the 5toes and black skin. Except the one with no feathers on his/her legs, he has five toe looking silky foot on one side and the other only has four toes. Could this just be bad genes or bad breeding?

It could be either of the two, or a different breed thrown in somewhere down the line.
