4, but 5 toes are dominant. Only downside with crossing a Serama is that you'd be battling squirrel tail for a loooong time. That's really hard to get out.

You could start a new trend, give chihuahuas a run for their money.

Whats squirrel tail?

 

[Poulets De Cajun]

same as wry tail. when it leans too far forward, or to one side or the other... I *think*

 

[Sonoran Silkies]

Where the tail angle is more than vertical--what breed are you wanting to silkie? If it's a breed with a low angle tail, might they balance each other (I have no idea which genes affect tail type, angle, etc.)?

 

[Sonoran Silkies]

No wry tail is when the tail twists to the side. Squirrel tail is like the angle that japs and seramas hold their tails: past the vertical, and back towards the head.

 

[chickenwhisperer123]

Well what would be a good breed to experiment with?
I am pretty much up for anything, but I would like the breed to be a standard size.

 

[Poulets De Cajun]

I call it all wry tail... its all messed up either way... LOL
