Hi, my husband and I own a farm, we get broiler chickens every year. This year I decided to get pullets for laying eggs. I started with 15 Barred Rock, the beginning of April. I've been doing a lot of research since my husband took care of the broilers. One pullet is having some issues with her toes.

What do you mean by "issues"? They could be broken, I have a hen with almost all but one or two toes broken and she kind of waddles a bit but is just as fast as the others. If they are curling under, you can gently wrap her toes in tape so that they look normal and keep the tape on for a few days.

Thank you, I will take a photo tomorrow and post it.

I tried to bandage her feet for a few days, as I thought maybe she has crooked toes, it did not seem to help.
