What is this beauty?!

[Rosie0550]

ok gang, 6 1/2 weeks ago I picked out a chick with “angel wings “ as I called them, just because it was different from any of the others- now I have a puff-ball! What breed is it & can you tell gender? I thought frizzle Cochin, but it’s beak is different (sharper) than my others and it has an extra toe on one foot- (I’m guessing since only on one foot it’s a polydactyl mutation & not breed specific, but here is a pic anyway)
Any info is appreciated & forgive the dirty feathers, they had fun today

You have a White Frizzle Cochin Bantam pullet with an overgrown beak. The extra toe on 1 foot and 4 on the other happens on occasion, but it usually shows up when crossing a 5 toed breed to a 4 toed breed. I have a Silkie x Easter Egger pullet with 9 toes total.

I don’t usually like frizzles but your is the exception! I’d say it’s a pullet and definitely a Pekin/Cochin she is beautiful even with an extra toe!

I’m going to ask the same question- I know these are Silkies but what is the gender? They’re about 3 months

Start a new thread asking about their genders and most more pictures of them on the new thread.

Thanks so Much! I just thought her wings were cute when we got her- I had no idea after all the “surprise “ roosters, this makes me extra happy

Forgive the ignorance, but do I need to do anything special with her beak? She seems to eat & drink fine.... i love her extra toes

You could remove just the part that is growing past the lower mandible with a human nail clipper, but watch some YouTube videos before attempting it.

Ok.... so I will need to keep an eye on her as she gets older & this may just be maintenance that she needs periodically? (Thanks for replying)
