Chick without toe nail?

[jayhawkmikes]

I have some 2 week old chicks and just noticed that one of them doesn't have a middle toenail on both feet, I never noticed this before so I don't know if it was like that when I got them or not. Is this normal ?

If she is eating/drinking/pooping normal and there is no sign of infection in toes,then i would not worry. She may never have toenails in toes,possibly genetic issue or damage was done and nails never formed.

Yes she acts normal and her toes look good just without the nails.

Thank you
