I just noticed the other day that one of my chickens has a claw that sort of drags around like it doesn't have any muscles in it and is slightly rotated. She doesn't limp or seem to have any problems roosting with it since her other claws work perfectly fine. I was just wondering if this sounds like something she was born with or if she might have injured it along the way and I just now noticed? :( She is only 3 months old and it doesn't look like it bothers her. Just wondering if anyone has seen this before and if there is anything I should do?

If it doesn't bother her it's probably okay, you could try wrapping it an a bandage or something if it bothers you or if you are worried

Haha! Just now saw your reply. Thanks for the advice. :) I decided it wasn't bothering her, so I left it alone. She seems to be just fine. :D
