Crooked Toes

[Nate Caskey]

I was wondering if there was any way to fix crooked toes on a 6-month-old pullet.

How'd your pullet get crooked toes? Injury or just happen? Picture would help, yours aren't loading up. Is it eating? Drinking? Pooping? Is it using it's legs? Walking?

There's a condition called CTP (Curly Toe Paralysis), toes curled & chick becomes lame. It's caused by Riboflavin deficiency & fixable with vitamins.

You could tape it flat with Vet Wrap, top & bottom of feet & changing every couple days to for growth & checking.

There's a site: PoultryPedia, very helpful

I've had a few birds with crooked toes. I read it had something to do with improper incubation temperatures. They did fine without corrections. I don't think I would mess with them at that age unless they are having troubles getting around.
