I'm guessing it is for the toes bent under... to help straighten them.

The reason they have "bandaid shoes" is because their outer toes were curling under slightly. After searching and looking at pictures of others with curled toes it seems this is a mild case. I am still trying to figure out why it happened so I can try to prevent it in the future. Does anyone know how long to keep their "bandaid shoes" on?

Thank you everybody. We are totally enjoying these chicks. They are much more responsive to us than chicks we have gotten from hatcheries.

Update: Last night, after 3 days, I took their "bandaid shoes" off and their toes are just fine.
