silkie feet

[paddyg84]

Was checking over my little white silkie earlier and looked at her feet. Her little back toe has a curved claw on it. Im nearly certain shes a hen tho pretty sure she hasnt laid yet. Is this claw normal or could she possibly be a he?

Silkies are a breed that have an extra toe on their feet. Both males and females have them. The rooster's spur would an inch or so above the foot on the back of the leg. By the way, some hens have little spurs, too.
