It looks like there is just a very thin membrane between the toes and I don't think I should bother it, except that the middle toe is bent around and stuck to the other. She walks just fine though. Sorry about the pics, it's really hard to capture. Should I break the skin and band-aid the toes? Should I just leave well enough alone?

The webbing is on both feet.

This is the little one with the webbed toes. My husband wants to call her twinkle toes.

I would be in the same boat with all those cute fuzzy butts! I decided to hatch again though, so either way I am going to have cuties running around!

Hey! I have one of those with webbed feet as well! I thought I was the only one with a mutant chicken.LOL! I call my baby "Tilt" because when she was still a puff ball, she had a tendency to fall over, but now she is the fastest thing in the dooryard and my unabashed favorite. Her littermate? "Hulk" has normal feet, but he is tiny and not quite so full of attitude as my little girl.
Her feet are really messed up, with complete webs all the way up the middle toes, and the toes bend in really badly, but she seems to have adapted really well to her malformation. I am glad she is a hen, that way she can be a pet, and we can eat the eggs, if she was a rooster I would have to either caponize or cull her to keep this from being passed on. Her mates runtyness is a worry, but he got short shrift in the brooder from the other chicks from the get go, so I think that might have something to do with it.
I am glad to know Tilt isnt alone in the world.
 
T'he webbed toes can be separated though it would be best if a vet did this (very simple procedure with no anathesia involved )
