Welcome to BYC

Curled toes can be caused by genetics or problems during incubation. It's usually pretty easy to fix if it's fixed early. Make him a little boot to straighten
the toes - The link BrattishTaz gave is great.

my chick Nina had curly toe. We put a tape with little holes, like the clear band-aids, but heavy duty. A week later her feet were pretty straight, her toes were still a bit crooked
