This is our first time raising chicks so I need all the help i can get.

I have 2 PR babies who are 1.5wks old, one has curled toes. Getting around fine but guessing it needs a boot? Is there any supplements I can give the chick to help with anything? Really hoping to correct its feet.

Apart from its toes its a very healthy and lively chick.
Any advice?

This should have been corrected when they were only s a few days old.
I don't know if you can help them now. Years ago I had another breed and
the chicks had curled toes. I didn't know to intervene early either and by the
time I found out I should have , it was too late. If they can walk ok, then it
is what it is. Here are some links on curled toes:

Its feet were fine when it hatched. I handle them multiple times a day and only just noticed the change.
