I have a 4 month old Barred Rock that has a curled or broken toe. Its his middle toe. I was very cautious when they were chicks making sure their toes weren't curling. I was in the coop this morning feeding them and decided to do a random inspection and found one of his toes is extremely bent. Is there anything I can do?
 
Yes, make it some little "shoes" using masking tape, sticking plasters and/or cardboard to keep the toe straight. If its broken it will heal straight and if it's curled then you'll give it a chance to straighten out.
 
I tried making little splints out of toothpicks about 5 toothpicks each and taped them together. then taped the toe straight with them. But it did not work, toe is still crooked with the splint on it.
