Crooked toes

[KelseyIrene]

My sweet baby girl Izzie has crooked toes and im not sure what to do at this point. She is 4 weeks old today.

I did try to put her in a "boot" wrapped toes with vet wrap to a small piece of thin cardboard for four days and they looked good but went back to the way they look now.

Any advice on what I can do for her?

I have a girl with crooked toes too. I am going to cull her eventually anyway, but if you don't want to do that, I'm pretty sure Izzie will be fine as long as she can get around the same as the others.

There is nothing that you can do for curled to the side toes at this point. Sometimes in the first day or two you can tape them straight, but now it would be painful and would not work since the toes are not as pliable. This was do to an incubation problem, and is common. Most of the ones I have had with it have done fine, even roosting okay.

She gets around fine, haven't seen her roost on the water or food feeders like I have with my sexlinks.

She doesn't seem effected by it now but im worried she won't be able to roost properly as she gets older.

The curling didn't start until about a week ago and that's when I first tried taping it
