Stumped by black chick with 5 toes

[FeatherQueen3]

This is driving me nuts LOL

SHE is supposed to be one of these breeds: Americana, Cuckoo Marans, French Black Copper Marans, Midnight Majesty Marans, Prairie Bluebell Eggers, Olive Eggers, Sapphire Olive Eggers or Starlight Green Eggers.

I understand most of these "breeds" are mutts but I'm looking at the crosses on Hoover's website that make said "mutts" and none of them have 5 toes??
For instance:
**Prairie Bluebell Egger= Araucana x White Leghorns
**Starlight Green Egger= Prairie Bluebell Egger x with brown egg layer (does not specify, however none of the chicks pictured on their website are black like this)
**Olive Eggers= Americana x French Cuckoo Marans OR Legbar x Welsummer

In my first thread about all the chicks, someone mentioned she could be a Mystic Onyx (she's not supposed to be lol), however her legs/feet are not entirely black and her skin is not black either.

She does have light feathering on her legs.

What does everyone think?

She may have 2nd or 3rd generation silkie? I have a ways to go in learning about the different breeds, but silkies are the only ones I know of with extra toes

None of those varieties should have 5 toes, but substitutions happen often with hatcheries. Maybe when it is grown you'll have a better idea based on appearance and/or egg color, but for right now I would let it go and just be glad she is healthy and cute.

Thanks! I just find it interesting.

Possibly a Mystic Onyx. I think green queen chicks cab have 5 toes toi

It is but I don't think there is a satisfactory explanation at this point. You could write to the hatchery and explain about the 5th toe, and ask what they think it could be.

But they are not carried by Hoover, so that is why it is such a mystery.

Ah, okay I can never remember who carries the Queens

I'm going to let her feather out and then re-post.

Yes they are (in reference to Mystic Onyx) Here is the link. I have replied on their other thread and am extremely confident that this bird is a Mystic Onyx
