I had a chick hatch Friday which was on the 19 th day and its feet are turned in and it's not walking good...It has been eating and drinking fine...Will it eventually be able to walk?
 
One of the things that works well for me is to get a piece of scotch tape,spread out the little toes and stick the tape to them to hold them in place. Trim the tape as close as you can without cutting the toes and turn the chick loose. If the condition is not severe,the muscles(or tendons,or whatever) will strengthen in just a day or two.
 
You can cut a small piece of cardboard if they are really bad and use it with bandaid or tape to hold them in place. I had a little chick like that not too long ago.
