Sometimes this happes and we never know why. I would let him stay for the next few days to see if he inproves. If not I would cull. Good luck!

It's a bit of a club foot and it happens. Often times it corrects itself without intervention. In the search bar look up chick boot or shoe. A simple bandaid can help if wrapped around the foot with his little foot on the white gauze part and fold the sticky part over the toes after you flatten them out into a correct anatomical position. Just watch him for a couple days. I'm thinking it will correct itself. And Congratulations!

Posting threads on the same subject in multiple areas of the forum is considered against the rules. You might want to remove a few of them.

Good luck.
