Deformed feet?

[CobraFnD]

Had a bitty hatch with deformed feet. Both outside toes are turned under and towards the middle one. Will they stay that way? It does not seem to effect getting around.

Time is of the essence in handling foot problems before the bones set. I am assuming it is correctable, but it may not be...I don't know. Hopefully others will chime in.

I didn't notice one of my hens' curly toes in time. She is just a little awkward with them but she gets around fine.

Do check out the thread provided above. One of my newly arrived chicks had curled toes on one foot, and she did have trouble getting around. We made the "boot" described in the thread with a small piece of lightweight cardboard and a bandaid. She only wore it for 24 hours. She is 19 weeks old now and gets around just fine - all toes are straight. It seems strange - but works very well, and very quickly. Good luck!
