Few days old..

aww he looks like a duck

poultry podiatry (because I like to litter links to this site around BYC)

And the below because it should work as a splint for the toe. Use masking tape, not duct tape or anything like it. Chicks have pretty delicate feet. (Also, note the 'remove in 3-4 days'? Don't. Change in 3-4 days to account for growth, and be very gentle doing it. Also, supplementing a few chick-vitamins can do wonders for bone health, if you have them.) Good luck; I hope he recovers well.

THANK YOU!!!

Should I separate her while doing this? She’s a bantam chick so I worry about her maybe getting trampled or getting bullied?

While doing the duty you could separate her but I suggest putting her back with her friends when you are done.

Maybe separate with one other chick?

Good suggestion, maybe I’ll add 2 other Batams with he/she
