Chick is a mix. By the feathering on the leggs and the extra toe, at least on the one foot, my guess is it's a silkie mix. Since it's mixed it took parts of both the mom and dad. Whichever one was the silkie supplied the extra toe and feathered shanks.
 
Since it came from Ideal it might be something other than a silkie mix actually. I bet it is more like a development problem. I'd let them know what you have so they can be aware of the problem. They're pretty good about taking care of their customers.
