Help please! I have been trying to work with this little guy (6 week old Serama rooster) but I don’t feel like I’m making progress. :( He started out about a week ago with curved toes. I suspected vitamin deficiency after reading up on it. I have tried taping his feet (making the little boots out of tape). I have also tried vet tape around his ankles to hold his legs in place. I’ve supplemented with “save a chick” as well as nutridrench. Anything else I can try? C86FE6E1-DF72-4B9B-895D-65E4E627CADB.jpeg

Did this happen at the beggining of hatch?? Was he born with crooekd toes?? it be easier if u fixed it at the beginning, but its okay.
 
I recently had two chicks that “spraddled” and despite my best efforts, I could not get them to correct their gait. I made small ”leg correctors” out of vet tape, to no avail. End result: nature culled…. I hope your result is better than mine. 🤞
 
I know he's a little old for spraddle leg but I saw this a few months back and thought it was interesting. You could try with your little guy. Prayers he gets well.
