Can a 4 month old rooster recover from curled toes? I noticed when he was younger one was wonky and he was fine. Now both feet are curled in. Is he too old to try to correct it?
 
Can you post pictures? Are the toes curled to the sides which happens commonly, or curled under as chickens may have from a riboflavin deficiency? If you are wanting to straighten toes at his age, it would be impossible and painful to try splinting. For curled under toes, in baby chicks, taping the toes flat, and giving human vitamin B complex 1/4 tablet daily would help.
