Someone gave us this chick; our hen was actually her mother but our friends hatched the eggs in their incubator and were going to keep the chicks, then things changed, so we got two of the chicks back. Anyway, she was hatched with curled toes and they never splinted them. Is is too late to try splinting them? She is about three weeks old now. She can walk on the foot with the curled toes pretty well, but lies down more than her sibling. We were going to try the splints in a couple days after she gets used to being here.
