Whats with the feet??

[Coulter Farm12]

these are one of our own chicks we hatched and I noticed this is the only one with feet like this. Anyone want to take a stab at this one? Buff Orpington is the father and the hens are Black and Blue Cochins.

Thanks

Somebody's been breeding the cochins to make sizzles...

That's my stab at it, lol. Check the cochins for an extra toe.

Polydactyly is a dominant trait which means that it will show up again and again once the gene is in your flock. There are silkie genes running around in there somewhere. I agree that someone was probably crossing a cochin and silkie.

I will in the morning, I was going to look at the girls, see who the guilty one is. there were not any Silkies here unless it was prior before we got the hens. I did read something on the Silkies about their feet but not since the hens have been here.
