Just last night I read about curled toes so this morning I decided to take a closer look at all my girls. None of them have the extreme cases I've come across on other threads or in pictures I've seen. However, I'm wondering if these are curled or normal for chickens. And, if they aren't normal, are they curled enough to try to fix with a chicken boot/band aid splint? I could totally be just overreacting - I'm new at this and really don't want to overlook something. Chicks in these pictures range from 4 to 16 days old. If the age of the chick makes in a difference in diagnosis or treatment, please let me know.
Like I said, this may just be normal chicken toes. But the outside toe curls backwards just a bit on them, so maybe it's a problem. Please let me know if I need to intervene so I can do so sooner rather than later.
