My new chick's double back toes

[barredrock254]

I got eggs from somebody and they hatched out chicks, ALL of them with double toes, and one little guy with a leg that has three back toes!!









There's all of them!

Those toes look like silkie mix toes. Polydactaly is dominant.

That is adorable

Awesome! I thought I had silkie mixes!

That's a keeper!

You need to keep it and breed it and keep track of the offspring with the same trait.

And if he has daughters/pullets with that trait, breed back to them.

I just got three chicks at North 40 they're black ones I can't remember what they are. However all three of them have the double digit toes in the back. Do you think this would be a desirable trait? because apparently I might be able to easily do this with three hens that have the double back toes.
