Silkie chick

[glenney08]

Hi looking for any helpful tips . I have about 10 silkie chickens. Not the big beautiful show type but the "you know they are silkies" they are nice and have good foot fluff and whatnot. I've done 5 hatches from all of them in total so far . All very silkie like . All chicks came out wonderful except today I so far have had one chick hatch with white legs ??? Now I know that's not silkie because their skin is black but all my birds have and have had black legs and show all silkie . Photos are of

chick from today. Looking for any advice thanks

does he have the right amount of toes? um er five toes? Not a silky expert by any means here.....

does the rest of his skin look light? I ask becuase his beak looks dark.....light toes sometimes occur, and in a few weeks turn dark, but this looks like the entire feet....Since black skin is dominant, I would suspect that both parents are split for that gene, and it inherited the bad luck of the draw
