We had a mama hatch this check. Mama was a Marans and dad is an Easter egger. I haven’t paid attention too much to my chickens feet and thought hers looked different!
Also- pullet or roo??
Hatched April 6th

In your left picture, a fifth toe is fused onto another one. Neither Marans nor EEs have five toes. I'm sure as long as it walks fine, it won't matter, but makes me think there's another cross involved in your chick. It sure is pretty so who cares, right? :)

For sex, you might try post here: Sorry I'm no help, I just raise silkies that DO have five toes. :)
 
There are other breeds with 5 toes (I’m looking at you, Dorkings!) An EE technically is a mixed breed that lays blue or green eggs…The EE could have been mixed w any combo of breeds that end up laying not brown, cream or white.

That would definitely explain it! All my pullets I got from a hatchery but my roo came from facebook 😂
