Mystery chick...5 toes!

[HattieK]

Hi everyone! I just bought 10 ISA Brown chicks from Tractor Supply. After a week, it's become clear that this little lady is not an ISA brown. First, she has 5 toes! Her beak is tinged with black and her wing feathers are showing black and white? Anyone recognize her?

I don't know. Only a few chickens have 5 toes. Faverolles do, but they have feathered feet, so it's not a Faverolle. Houdans do, but they are crested, and I see no top knot on yours, so Dorking is the only one that seems to fit your chick. You may want to check TSC and ask if they were selling Dorkings at that time. Good Luck with the little cutie!

I looked at those but she doesn't have nearly as much black. She looked quite a bit like the Faverolle chicks but I'm not that familiar with the breeds with leg feathers or crests and i didn't know if they get them later. She's close to two weeks old.

No, I don't think it's a Faverolle because leg feathers are apparent immediately on hatch. Crests, however, can develop a little later.

Silkies have five toes, but she doesn’t look like one.
