Frinky toes UPDATED W/PICS

[Silkie Sue]

i have 4 week old Polish chicks and when they are running around their toes look normal and straight, but when i let them perch on my hand the toes look all crooked, is this something i should worry about?
both parents have normal toes. will they grow out of this ? i am really trying for SQ birds. it is late now and my camera doesn't take good pictures in the barn at night. Whaddya think?

Out of the 5 chicks this seems to be the only one with the condition...

and here he is perching

but look at this face...

How crooked? Do they look normal when standing still?

I would add vitamins asap.

they kinda curl to the side.... yes they look perfect on the ground
maybe they just need to practice perching

do you think it is something to worry about?

Probably not. I've heard it can be incubation issues too... like temperature fluctuations etc...

Well, Sue, if it is the incubator, I will let you know how my hatch goes as to whether they have curly toes. I did not change the settings since you returned it to me. (I lent her my incubator for her hatch)
