I purchased 5 white Silkie chicks from a friend and Breeder , What should I look for ? I want SQ and BQ what are good traits ?
unfortunatly 1 has club foot and the other litterally has a 3rd foot growing off the top of his foot so I know they are just pets , the other three have 5 toes , and seem to have good toe spacing any thing else to look for ?

I don't have any current pics because my camera got dropped

One thing is feathering on the outer and middle toes. If a chick doesn't have feathers there, they won't grow in later.
 
Other than obvious physical defects the only thing you can really do is wait until they begin to grow. They change a ton in the first year.
