Hello:
I just recently got into chickens and I am addicted! We have around 15 silkies. Our 2 oldest are only about 10 weeks old. 3 of them are maybe almost a month old and the rest are all tiny, only a week-2 weeks old. 1 of the month olds has 5 toes on 1 foot and 4 toes on the other...How does that happen? Would that mean if it was bred that the babies would be like that too? Another 1 of the tiny babies has really crooked toes too! I wanted to breed them when they were old enough but I dont know if it would be okay to breed those 2.... Any thought?
