Same chick:

This chick just hatched, it’s toes will straighten on their own.

What are it’s symptoms, often they hold themselves in weird positions at first because they need to rest, them figure out how it all works.

I believe it’s best to wait 24 hours from hatch to try to correct them. For the first day mine are in the brooder they are on bumpy shelf liner instead of bedding, this helps them get their feet and legs positioned correctly on their own.

How old are the chicks?
