I just took home an injured chick from a local feed store and I’m not sure how to help her. She appears to have an injured leg/foot because when she stands, she keeps her right leg off the ground and her middle toe is completely curled inwards. She can hardly walk and has very low energy.
I saw that people have made chick booties with vet wrap/tape to correct crooked toes but I’m not sure if that’s the right thing to do in this particular situation.
the picture below is the best I could get of her foot (the one on the left) but it’s not representative of how she holds it when she’s standing. Her middle toe is more curled when she stands on her own!
please let me know what you think I should do!
