, sorry about the circumstances.

Get some Polyvisol Enfamil vitamins (no iron formulation), give two-three drops a day, for a week and then taper off (vitamins/trace elements will sometimes help resolve this). toes can be placed between tape in their proper position. Here is a link to a thread on Spraddle leg (curled toes also included) that might be useful: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/41693/spraddle-leg-splay-leg-treatment-instructions

When treated early both the curling toes/leg problems can often be resolved successfully.

Good luck!
