If none of those chicks have or develop duckfoot later, you have some good stock to go forward with.
Duckfoot has not really been studied that much, as it has no commercial significance.   My gut feeling is that it involves at least two recessive genes.

Thanks for the compliments. He is around 6 pounds. I wish he had a little more tail...

Mike, thanks for your input and advice.   :)

Hi Max, I think your cockerel bird looks great! If your talking about the length of his tail it looks like a nice medium length.

Clif Redden:
I meant to say cock bird my spell check  put cockerel in.
