Looking for some advice to adding to a solar power system. I live in SW Mississippi. When the sun is not out, so to speak we do have wind 8mph to 25mph. Just looking to add economical addition to help charging abilities.

I like to make a micro wind power, can I use a small DC toy motor and attach a small plastic propeller ? If not then what's can I use ?

It can be done.

A demo I have seen had a propeller about 6 inches across. I have no idea how much wind is required to get any output.

Here is something on line. I expect there are others if you do an google search…
