5 day old chick with crooked middle toes

[DebAnneDigi]

Does its toe need attending to? I’m searching for more info…

It's a slight hatching deformity. Since it's still young the toe can be fixed with corrective shoes.

Here are some articles on how to make the shoes.

Omg I wish I would have seen this for last years hatch. I had a chick whose feet did that and she ended up dying because I didn’t know what to do. Now I know you can fix it. If you don’t it will continue to turn outward and she will eventually stop walking. The other chicks will start bullying. Please listen to these ladies and fix it.
