Oddball... *Updated at 3 months with pics*

Ok, so the eggs we were given at the county fair to try to hatch have hatched! Now I know they were mixed breeds. 1 was from a small light blue egg. This 1 I'm sure is part silkie. It has black skin, feathered legs and 5 toes on 1 foot, but only 4 on the other. The kids have already taken to call it Oddball.

This baby is so cute? Where did you ever get such a cute bird like that? I want one!

Thought I'd post a pic of Oddball with his/her new hatch mates.

Shelby528, thanks, I wish you lived closer, I'd give this cutie to you. My sons would probably fight me over it, but I don't see how we have much room right now to keep more chicks. Though these ones are quite tiny right now.

They are all adorable but your little Oddball is REALLY cute!!!!!

What a little cutie. And all of them are sweet looking.

Chick envy. Mixed with coop envy. It sounds like a case of chicken fever.

Decided to get updated pics of Oddball. 3 months old now. Still not sure if Oddball is a he or she. I do know Dad is a full silkie and mom is part silkie. This is 1 weird looking bird. My boys love Oddball though. I'm hoping not a roo, because it's other hatch mates both are little cockeral as I had feared. LOL.

Very weird comb

1 waddle is shorter than the other

Thanks guys. Anyone have ideas on sex? Or maybe I should start a new thread in sex and breed section. This one has me stumped.
