Recently a chick hatched with curled toes and splay legs. For the splay legs I used a band-aid to place the legs in the proper positions but for the curled toes I was at a loss as to how to fix that. The chick was very small - a Serama, and it was hard to find anything to tape to the feet that wasn't too big. So, after giving it some thought I decided to try some of those sticky-backed furniture pad dots. They worked wonderfully and quickly! After only a couple of days the toes weren't curled anymore. Just thought I'd share this idea with the hope that it might help others who's chicks have the same problem.
