Result of breeding two 6-toed silkies?

Eh, I suppose originally I was curious if 2 six-toed parents would encourage more toe mutations and if that might have drawbacks. Doesn't really matter anymore, my friend has the black six-toe now. Needed more color variety in the silkie pen.

Now just occasionally updating the thread with growth updates for MegaToe
6 toes is caused by the same polydactly mutation that causes the 5 toes. So, not really a big deal, & can be bred from without issues.

Something I wanted to share that might fit this thread regarding genetics, a peculiar six-toed chick that I hatched recently. He was a silkie x mystic onyx (silkie + meatbird). The little mini toe is actually backwards on the foot—weird!
