Here are pictures of Squishy's foot. She carries it forward and it looks like maybe the outer toe is fused....it is really hard to tell. What are the best early treatment options?

That does not look like curled toes so taping probably will not work. I would see what happens over the next couple of days.

Does she walk?

Yes, she walks a bit...but not fully, so far. She was in the cup until about an hour ago. Her umbilical cord was still attached, but completely dry so I clipped it, and took her out of the cup. That leg sticks out towards the front. I was thinking of hobbling her. It looks like that toe is possibly fused, but I am not 100% sure. She has had 2 drops of poly-vi-sol since this morning. The other chicks keep pecking her big toe on that foot, because it sticks out from under her, since she holds that one further forward.

If the toes are fused, you will see skin between the toes that looks like webbing. I've read of people snipping it, but I've never seen it myself.

Yes, look into snipping fuzed toes. I have not had the pleasure of dealing with this either so research is key.

I have a marans girl with her outter toe fused to the middle toe. It's webbed like a duck. I didn't snip it because it didn't bother her and still doesn't. I just don't breed her. Shame too because she lays a beautiful dark egg
