We got this little girl about two weeks ago... She looks like she may be an EE, BUT she has 5 toes on each foot! Plus at 5 weeks she is smaller than my one week old chicks! She isn't even as big as a golf ball?? Any ideas of what breed she could be, seeings as she is sssssooooooooooo small, and has the extra toes?

she is the one in the middle with the black stripes! She is supposed to be the same age as my two RIR's there, and they will be 6 weeks on Tuesday! She has plenty of feathers, just tiny!!
 
We have hatched EE's with 9 toes 10 toes and even feather legs..they are a cross breed so anything goes .Add that to pint sized ok half pint and she's going to be a huge conversation piece.
 
I have no idea what she is (besides cute), but she doesn't look like she's 5 1/2 weeks old to me. My chicks were almost all feathered out by 6 weeks of age - her feathering (wings and the beginnig of the tail) make her look to me like she's only 2 - 2 1/2 weeks of age (unless banties are much slower to feather than standards?).

The white chick (splash) is only 2 - 3 days old - the two in the back are 2 1/2 weeks old:

The idea had occured to me that she may be younger than originally told, but her first ad was posted a few weeks ago with her pic. I wish she would hold still so I can get a better pic. Her wings are feathered out and she flys for days! She's outside with the other chicks and she stays right with them! She hasn't seem to have gotten any bigger either since we've had her, so the failling to thrive thought has crossed my mind.
Thanks to you all for the help!!
