Not many birds have more than four toes except chickens of the Dorking, Faverolle, Houden, Sultan, and Silkie Bantams, all of which have five toes. In these breeds the extra toe rises above the base of the hallux and projects upward, this toe never touches the ground. In the Silkie, the extra toes often lie nearly in the same plane as the hallux. Some birds have only three toes, while the ostrich only has two toes.
the dorking.faverolle,houden,sultan,and ALL silkies have five toes. Silkies by standard always have 5 toes. Some are hatched with 4 or 6 but that is a fault. Silkies are bantam sized by standard in the United States but are a large bantam. Outside of the U.S. they are by standard a large breed chicken. *Edited from version that stated only bearded silkies have five toes. Bearded and non bearded both should have five toes on each foot.
I own ALOT of bantams but most are mixed. I know that silkie bantams have five toes and D' Uccle Bantams have five toes but I am not positive about any other bantam breeds though I do know there are more then that with five toes.

Wood shavings are best but straw will do assuming they are completely feathered. It's hard for little feet to scratch large straw around and search for food. Shavings offer better absorbing qualities and retain heat better than straw.
