[bandit1988]

well ive had a few chicks hatch for the first time ive never incubated before and one has bad curled toes and cant walk and when it trys to walk it walks on its knees its small compared to the size of the egg

Make a shoe out of tape. Place the foot on a piece of heavy tape with the toes positioned correctly and then put another piece of tape over the top effectively sealing the foot inside the two tape sides. Trim to fit. Check in a week to see if toes have gone into the correct positions. If so- problem fixed. If not- repeat.

Good luck.

its not just that it cant realy stand up ither he cant bend the knees so he stands he basicly shot out of the eggs from when he started hatching he was out in about 5 minutes
