I have a 2 week old silkie chick whose I had to help hatch out of its egg. I worried at first that it would have spraddle legs but now I have noticed it has an issue with its foot. Does anyone know what this is and if it can be fixed or should I just cull the chick Which I would rather not do until I try everything possible, if there is anything to try...it's like it can't spraAd the toes out and they just kind of curl. It gets around fine with a little hobble. Eats and drinks normal but it the noisiest chick I have ever had! It's also being kept alone.

Are you able to manually straighten his toes? You could try using a piece of cardboard and tape or vet wrap to flatten his foot.
