I have a couple silkies from TSC so I know they are pet quality and don't expect them to perfectly fit the SOP, but one has the two back toes almost fused together and another has two nails out of the back toe and another stub. What is normal, or what is a range of normal for a pet quality silkie?

It's a bit hard to see as they blend into the background but these seem to be some odd tootsies to me.

dang it now I need silkies 😂😂😂 I’ve been wanting frizzles!! #chickenmath
Yes! Get them!!! Fizzles and silkies, all of them!!! These are my first silkies, "just" hatchery chicks, but they are super cute and I feel they are my gateway silkies into finding higher quality silkies 🤣

When we got chickens 3 years ago we were going to get 8, as that's all we needed, we now have 33 😃
