Curved Toes?

[AshleyB97]

I have a question. One of my chicks middle toes are curved slightly inward and I was wondering if that is any cause for concern? She is walking fine but idk if that will affect her later in life or if that's how chicks feet are? Thank you ❣

It does look like she has some slight curvature to her foot. At her age, it is unlikely to get worse and will not impact her quality of life. If the middle nail leans to the side, you may need to trim it occasionally when she is an adult, but that is an easy thing to do and won't cause any health problems.

For more severely deformed toes, very young chicks (1--2 days old) can be bandaged so that their toes are straightened as they grow, but your bird isn't nearly that bad and she looks too old; her bones won't be flexible enough.
