Curly toes on my 1-month old chick--will she be ok? (pics)

I'm new to chicken ownership and have been loving every minute, but have a concern about one of my one-month old RIR chicks who has developed a "curly" toe on both feet. I never noticed anything until maybe two weeks ago, but it doesn't seem to be getting any better. She doesn't have any problem walking, or perching so far it seems and she doesn't seem to mind when I try to straighten it. Should I worry or do something, or will she just have unique feet?

It happens, she'll be fine. Sometimes it is incubation and sometimes it is genetic.

Thanks for the quick reply. That makes me feel better!

First,

-- you're among friends here!

I have a 1 y/o Buff Orp who got crooked toes on each foot around 1 month, too. She gets around just fine. It makes it easy to tell her apart from the others. We call her "crazy Daisy crooked toes."
