HELP - Curled Toe - Pics

[dbounds10]

I did a search for this and found some threads but all the pictures had been removed so I am unsure if any of them are exactly like what my baby has. She is about 10 days old and I just noticed this tonight. We have had her for 4 days and bought her from the feed store. This does not seem to keep her from getting around but if it gets worse I think it might. I have them on sand so there is nothing slippery but I think they were on wire or paper at the feed store.

Do I need to worry about this or try to fix it??

My Speckled Sussex has the same thing on one of her toes. I noticed it when she was about a week old. I read about treating it, but decided since It did not keep her from getting about and did not seem to hurt her just to let it be. She is now 4 months old has not had any problems with it and does everything the other chickens do. .

Should I try to splint it? Anyone with pictures of that would be great. I also heard something about extra vitamins??

I had a similar problem with a few chicks, it was called crooked toes, I tried to fix it, never worked, they were fine and had no issue getting around when they grew up.

I think I am going to try some Save A Chick and to make a boot. I have not been able to find a good picture example or directions for that. Anyone have some they can share?

I made a chick shoe for one of my chicks who had more severe curled toes.
