I hatched 6 chicks 2 1/2 weeks ago..I had one born without two toenails (middle toe on each foot). She has seemed to get around just fine and it doesn’t appear to be causing her any issues. Has anyone Had this happen before? The eggs were sold to me by a friend of a friend, so I don’t know much about the parents. Can this cause issues down the road or do y’all think she will be fine?

Since she is not living in the wild I think she should be just fine. I just wouldn't use her eggs for hatching she may pass this defect on to her babies.
