Silkie questions for you silkie experts :)

[peepinator]

Hello, I just got a few silkie mixes and wondered about their toes. I've got one ( a black one) that has 4 on one side and 5 on the other and I have another one (pure white) that has 6 on each side and her feet are blue in color and so is her beak. Is this common to have less than or more than 5 toes in this breed of bird? What kind of birds have blue colored feet? I think The silkies feet are supposed to be black, aren't they? Can the more or less toes happen in the pure bred birds too or just the mixes? I also wondered if both the hens and roosters have the blue earlobes? Thanks for your help

If they are silkie mixes then all bets are off as far as number of toes, color of beaks, feet etc.

silkies have blue feet, and roos and hens both have blue earlobes. toes in a mix are a roll of the dice.
