Mystic Onyx wing claws???

[BawkenQuackers]

I bought 22 mystic onyx chicks, it's my first time raising this type. I noticed the wings on this one look different. I touched it and there's definitely something sharp under the protruding feathers.

It's something I see in silkies sometimes. There's a name for it, but I don't remember what it is. It's not the wing claws, but an extra feather that sticks out from the digit.

Definitely feels like more than just a feather. I can investigate and see if I can find out what it is. Can you let me know when you remember what it's called please?

I would have to do some digging which may take awhile. Maybe someone else maybe able to help?

I don't know, wing spurs? My turkey had those and claudia'd the crap out of me once with them, though.
Here's a post where a SLW had them.

That's super cool! Is that a trait that's genetic?? Asking for a friend lol.

I don't know. I don't think turkeys are supposed to get them, either. I'd assume they're genetic.

They mean claws, all birds have a certain degree of wing claws.
