Here is a picture of the foot of one of the Salmon Faverolles. They are one of just a couple of breeds that have five toes, a result of Dorkings being used to develop the breed.
Faverolles are listed as critical on the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy's Conservation Priority List, if I had more land I would be tempted to keep a breeding flock, very tempted.

Wow--very cool! I had no idea some chickens had five toes!
Hi there, do you happen to have any faverolle chicks you'd be willing to part with? My wife and I are looking for some more for our flock. We had one a few years ago and she was the greatest, we'd love some others. I came across your blog from Jeanne Sauvage. We live in Kenmore, so if you're up in Lynnwood, it would be a hop skip and a jump away! Just let me know!
Thanks,
