Silkie thread!

Silkies are supposed to have 5 toes instead of the normal chicken 4

Is it weird that my Silkie hen has like 5 toes on each foot with split claws

5 toes- normal, lobster claws, no.

She has a lobster claw on one toe

My first four Silkies with a bantam baby joining in. I got a lavender showgirl, a blue, a blue splash showgirl and a silver Partridge.

This girl had a lot of faith in her ability to fly.

I got this girl today from a breeder nearby. I was told she's a lavender and will be lighter once her adult feathers come in. She's between 8-10 weeks.
What do you think? Most chicks and pullets I see tend to darken not lighten.
But I'm very new to chickens

Also she's a smooth sizzle Silkie.

All my lavenders were very light. Looks like a dark blue to me.

My lavender is much lighter and was when born. Looks like a blue or blue splash.

Too dark for a splash. Looks too uneven for blue, but I've only had silkie feathered ones. Never seen a lavender that dark.

Not really sure what color that is.
