since she is a mix already (I'm guessing since you didnt call her a show girl), if you cross her with the yokie/sumatra rooster, some of the offspring might come off without the 5th toe. You could then take the 4 toed ones back to him or his sumatra mom and the 5th toed ones back to the nn/silkie. Just a thought. You might have to take his crossed chicks back to his mom to lose the 5th toe, as it is a dominate gene.

My chicken projects are my time anymore. I have had some health issues the last year and a half and I have not been able to work. When I feel like it I start new projects to keep me from going crazy stuck at the house all the time.
