I just moved my hatchling over to their new hutch I built. I had a few escape and do headers into the floor while moving them and watched them for a bit to make sure no one was hurt when I spotted the foot. At first I thought the injury was fresh but looking at it now I think its older.

The beeper seems to be running on it ok for all that Its twisted so he is basically walking on the top of his foot.

If he ok now will he continue to be ok? Is this something that will cause complications down the line?
Should I cull him now?
 
I would cull it. It's likely to get worse as the bird gets older and heavier.

If you know anyone with reptiles, you might offer it as food.
