I have a little Speckled Sussex pullet, she's about 5 weeks old, and she's got a crooked toe. She gets around fine. It's one of the outer front toes and it just has a heck of an ourward curve to it. Otherwise it looks fine, so we really aren't going to worry about it.

Is your chick getting around OK?

She gets around every bit as good as the others just a curve to her toe. We just wanted to know if we should do something or if she would be fine as is.

I have read that you can straighten it by taping it with a bandaid to a thin piece of cardboard. Cardboard under foot...tape toe straight on top. I had a couple chicks hatch out like that...but waited too long before trying to fix. They won't straighten on their own. It has not effected their mobility...just a bit weird looking.
