Had 1 hatch with bent toes .. Any 1 advice??

Not much you can do just don't put it on hard ground and hope they sort themselves out - it would be risky to touch them.

Isn't there a thread on how to fix/treat crooked toes and legs? Ill see if I can find it for you.

Here is my GLW Eda with her chick hatched 8/15. She had 7 others but pushed them around yesterday and broke one so I put the 6 in with Faye and her 2 she's sitting on. Checked this am and 5 are pipped. Going to go check now to see if any have hatched yet.
