Broken toe?

[Mooocoow7]

Is his toe broken? This is a 7 week old golden comet roo.

Has it always been like that? Does he limp? It could just be crooked, possibly from a former injury, or it might just be the way it is. It could be broken if he’s limping.

It wasn't always like that and it's kinda limping.

Sounds like it might be broken. I’m going to tag @casportpony and @Wyorp Rock as I don’t have much experience with breaks. I hope he gets well soon!

It could be broken if he's limping. You can try splinting the toe to see if you can correct it.
I have had broken toes before, but they ended up mending a bit crooked which didn't affect the bird's movement.
Getting it stabilized will make them more comfortable though.

Here's a splinting manual you may find helpful:
