One of my silkies has five toes on one foot, and four on the other with webbing in between the 3rd and 4th toes. She's doing fine but i'm wondering if it was just a malformation or bad genes, the 6 other silkies have 5 toes on each foot. All seven have vaulted skulls, black skin, crests, etc. Will the offspring have uneven toes also?

I would say if you are breeding for show quality I wouldnt use that bird .. I have heard of birds with webbed feet, and have heard some folks do surgery on them themselves when they are day olds but not sure about older chicks..
