Peachick with bent toes

[SDpeafowl]

Two of my peachicks have bent toes and makes it hard to walk. Is there a way to fix it or will they eventually straighten out?

They will not straighten out on their own. Straighten the toes out yourself then wrap duct tape around each toe. This will keep the toe straight.

Here is an article explaining how to make something to go on a peachick's foot to fix this problem.

DON"T USE DUCT TAPE! It will pull their skin off. Use the method on the link above. If you don't have the tape they are talking about, just use band-aids as tape.

Oh I have never had that problem but I have used pipe cleaners sometimes. I probably do not have that problem because I handle the duct tape some much trying to put it on their toes that it removes some of the stickiness.
