I get them all the time, no big deal. Yes You can cut them, but do it before there are old enogh to band, or while there young. It cuts down on the bleeding.

Raffi59, even humans can have webbed feet,usually two toes very close together,I personally know this. I wouldn,t cut them.Glen.

Me and m raising partner Westler get them all the time. Dosent really matter if the bird rolls..LOL I have a few of my own and some of Wrestlers now but they roll so the small stuff dosent mater. When the day comes that boots, crest and webfeet effect the ideal roller I will start raising Falcons..LOL just kiddn..

Inbreeding has nothing to do with it , it is a rec trait so all it takes is two carrying it whether it is a complete out cross or tightly bred, breed away from them, you don't want them taking over your loft.
It can get so bad that toes will be completly welded together and it will handicap some birds, I won't stock them no matter how good they are.

I will pass on setting it in as a trait,the extream isn't worth it and that comes from experiance of having to deal with this physical problem in the past.

My wife has two toes that are webbed together, and I didn't cull her just because of her feet. She doesn't roll real good but she can dance ok. I used to tease her about swimming in circles. It's really not a big deal as long as you don't play a lot of footsie. She's a good producer too, I have too beautiful boys from her. As soon as they were born she wanted me to check their feet. No webs on them. She picked a good mate, I'm homozygous dominant for non-webbed feet. Laughing;)

Web feet is a genetic flaw,try to stay away from those if posible.
its a defect like many others that might pop up,
Scott is right its not from inbreeding becouse i have gotten some from outcrosses.
