No feathering on the middle toe- Duck feet- Missing fifth toes-
All these are automatic DQs for Silkies.
I need some advice on how to select Silkies with correct feet at a young age- before they get in their second fledge.
Questions I have-
Will a featherless middle toe grow feathers as the bird matures?
What do you look for in that fifth toe and fourth toe to ensure the bird is less likely to have duck foot?
What other secrets do you Silkie fanciers have that you can impart to a new but enthusiastic Silkie lover with a foot fetish? Sure I like the big poof, but that does a person no good if the judge can't get past the feet?
