My Chicken has an extra foot

[Tsutee]

I bought a Mystic Moran and noticed she has an extra foot not just extra toes but an actual foot. She doesn't seem to be having a problem as of yet, but she is still young, only about 2 months. She hops more than walks as she steps on it otherwise. I am keeping an eye on things as I will probably have to clip the nails frequently.
I don't feel the need to have it removed as she gets around, eats and drinks just fine.

Has anyone else had this issue?

Can you upload a picture?

Inbreeding and incubator settings cause stuff like that. You didn’t notice before you paid for the bird?

Can you upload a pic? Where is the extra foot attached?

Extra limbs are sometimes common in chickens. It helps others to post pictures. If the extra lim is getting in the way, you might consider having it removed.

I don't know that I can catch her to take a picture but I will try. It may also not come out as they have feathers on their feet.

Picture to follow if all goes well.

Still have not been able to catch the fluffy butt.

When trying to catch a chicken, after dark when they are on the roost, I use a headlamp with the red light on to sneak into my coop and pick up a chicken. This works for giving medicines or worming, or for examining them.
