I know that my Ghosttown birds sometimes come out with webbfeet. Its was heavyer years ago. I really dont getum anymore,, and my original Webbtoe hen was given to my raising partner Wrestler. She was a good producer reguardless of her toe..Hope it works out for ya the main thing is how ir does in the air.. You will hear alot of diffrent comments on this, it's just cosmetic,, I look at it like muffs,or odd eyes.. Have a good one Bro....How are the birds doing you got from me???

Rick, I'll catch heck but I would break up the pair. If you want to continue with them you can take a sharp exacto knife and slice the web when that are very, (VERY) young. Unless they produce outstanding spinners, I would move on.

I agree with Thom. It is a sign that your gene pool is a little too narrow.

I used to have birds that would hatch out with web feet also. As soon as they dried off they would run right into the pond water. Quacking, they had flat beaks, They didn't roll very good, so I sold them.

It is a recessive trait .. which means if two carry it you will see it regardless of if they are related or not.
DO NOT STOCK them unless you want to see it get worse and worse where the toes actualy fuse together

It doesn't matter.
Sometimes the other birds will taunt the web footed birds and hurt their feelings though. lol

Right on Rick, Hope they do well for ya.. I ended up stocking a full brother to that Mely spash pigeon you got from me at the show. And yea Chico has done well with getting birds from me to stable out his line. Last year he brought me back acouple of breeders he got from me before he moved north. Hope to see you sooner Rick maby at the L.V show... Good luck broski....
