Curled toe

Hi, I have a 4 week old chick and just noticed that her outside toe on her right foot is bending to the side and back. She can walk ok and she gets up onto the perches, however, she’s a bit tipsy as she can’t curl that toe around the perch. Is there something I should do for her? I’m new to raising chickens. I did read some of the threads but I’m not sure if I should try a bootie? If so, would she have to be separated from the other chicks? It also seems stressful but maybe worth it if the toe straightens?
