Curled crooked toes

[DebAnneDigi]

Hen is about 6 weeks old, hatched March 8th. I made slippers with cardboard and masking tape for a few days at a week old… did I make it worse? Does this need medical attention from vet? Can a Vet break them and reset? I put them out for first time today in a dog crate.. not staying out till weather temps are more consistent
TIA!

I just think that your treatment may have begun too late. Usually tape on the top and bottom in the natural position will help if done in the first day or two. Crooked toes cannot be corrected later on, but it is really not that serious a problem.In deactivate trying to correct them now would be painful, and probably won’t help. It comes from incubator hatching problems and genetics. I have had a hen with just as bad toes do fine, and roosted at night without problems.
