Could be a brith defect that has just shown up. Sometimes they can get bent toes. You can make a brace for it if you want to see ifyou can get it to go straight again.

If it's not causing any pain, don't worry about it. I have a rooster with a toe that is almost upside down. He moves and eats fine. I just will be sure not to breed him. :0

really he's not allowed to breed?

Some skeletal defects are genetic. You risk passing the gene on. However, depending on your flock, you may not care.
