I'm in the midst of a hatch of 10 BBS silkie eggs. Two of the babies who just hatched have several partial pink toes - is this a disqualification or defect? I can tell already that they have awesome foot feathering. Should I not use them for breeding or would this breed out if crossed with other birds?

Thanks for any input!!!
 
It is common for splash to have pigment loss at hatching. The color comes in after a few weeks. It is ok, don't worry.
