This chick hatched with the two external toes on both feet folding in and under the feet. That's how it was walking around, on the bent toes. I gave it booties made out of medical tape as soon as I noticed (a few hours after hatch) and kept the booties on for 2 days. After I took them off, the toes seemed straight. One day later though, and one of the toes has folded in again (the other toe seems fine). So what do I do now? Do I put another bootie on? The chick hatched in an incubator and I kept it inside for those 2 days, but now it's out with a broody and a sibling. I'm afraid the broody will try to get the bootie off and will inadvertently hurt the chick in the process. If I take just that one chick back for another day or two of indoor bootie wearing, both this chick and its sibling will scream their lungs out (they REALLY don't like being separated). If I take both chicks inside, I'm afraid the broody may break and won't take them back. So I'm in a bit of a predicament... I'm not going to ultimately keep this chick, it will be raised for meat (sorry, buddy) so I really just need it to be okay for a few months. Can it live like this? The toe isn't impeding its mobility at all, I'm just wondering if the pressure on the toe being bent like that might cause problems for the toe itself as the chick grows...
