Directly above the fifth toe usually starts growing around one year old give or take a few month, depends on the growth and maturity rate

Don't be afraid silkies developed very slow and usually aren't aggressive alot of times if you don't keep them clipped down after they grow 2 or 3 inches they sometimes break them off to the skin this will take 2 to 3 maybe 4 years to grow this length I have a cochinthat has never had his clipped down but only rounded and his is only 1 inch long and he's 3 years old so it depends on the rooster
