8 weeks chicks with feed deformation

[Lujangut]

Hi all!

I’m new here . I’ve recently got two silkies from a little farm. When I got home and started washing their feet (they had horrible poop feet), I realized that one of them has a toe curled under, plus an extra toe and some other ones that don’t look that straight either.
I looked online and saw that there’s a way to fix that. However, I am unsure if it’ll work since they’re already 8 weeks old?
Does anyone know if it will be worth trying? If it does, for how long should I keep the little thingy in her feet?

Thank you all!

Most silkies have wierd feet, 4-5 toes is typical but sometimes you see more. Can you get a picture of the curled toe? Does it impeded walking?

Hi! Thank you for your response. I’ll take a picture of it and post it here tomorrow. They’re sleeping now.
She seems to get around just fine. However, she’s been just in the pen I have for them. I have to try to take her outside and see how she does. She has about 4 toes (if I remember correctly). One of the toes is super super tiny, like it didn’t grew all the way

Hi there !

Here are some pictures for you to see.
I hope they’re clear enough.

Let me know if you think it would be worth doing the tape or band aid trick.
I looked at her a little closer today and she seems to go off balance a bit whenever she steps on that foot that has the toe curled under

It might have been broken and healed that way, or born like that. I'm not sure if the bandaid trick will help at this age.

Oh poor baby. I hope she grows up to walk alright. That toe is all the way under
