[rhysbrahma]

Are there any ways to correct curled toe once this chicken is at 12-14 weeks old?

Oh my goodness I did not see this. They’re pretty bad but he stands, runs and walks. He is a Brahma so my concern is he will get a lot bigger. Here are the photos I could snap.

Hello, my hen has an issue very similar to this, as well as one toe that points partially upwards on the other foot. What could this be on an adult bird?

Do you have pictures? Chickens can have crooked toes and they can curl more as they grow. They can sometimes be treated when they are just a couple of days old, but once the chicken is older, you cannot correct them. In fact, it would be painful to try and straighten them. As long as the chicken can walk and roost fairly normally, I wouldn’t worry about it.
