What breed? 5 Toes

Here's another pic of her. I do think she is pretty too

Hmm IMO(which doesnt mean much) the symmetry of this bird doesnt match the first. I understand its a roo but its body structure seems different... maybe its just the angle.

That 5th toe doesnt look natural. I say its a genetic defect/deformation.

Here's a picture of her toes when she was smaller. I looked in my chicken pictures to see if I had a picture of the black and white one, but I don't have a good one of it standing up. I'll have to take one tomorrow and post it. I was curious on their pen setup, and I realized I could goggle earth them. They do look like they have fences they can climb. Maybe I should call them and ask who they have housed next to their LS, and then I'll know what they are mixed with, lol.

If your bold enough ask them if they rotate out roo's or hens(what measures they take to reduce/eliminate inbreeding). If its a product of inbreeding you definately dont want to hatch any of hers. Not to mention hidden issues. I am crossing my fingers she is just a mix good luck to you!

Most of my mutts have 5 toes to, I can tell the difference between my 5 toed mutts and your 5 toed hen (sorry, but I'm no breed expert

)
That extra toe doesn't look natural, I would post pics of my 5 toed mutts but I can't figure out how to post a picture without the image URL, I don't have an exterior site for the URL.

Thanks for your help. I will not be breeding any of these. I will be keeping her though because I think she is cool.

To post a pic, just click the square thats above where you post. If you hover over it it will say Insert Image.

I agree. I have a few successful crossbreeds with Favorelles and Wyandottes and the smear fifth toes isn't in the same place.

Extra fifth toe. Hate the new spell checkers.

Yeah definitely a good way to make sure you have the right hen lol
