problem with baby chicks toes

[sabong]

the inside toes on each foot of this baby chick has no joint or whatever in the center...the other toes are fine but its little inside toes are like jello...anyone know what the problem might be

 

[zatsdeb]

can the chick walk ok? if so, it should be fine.

You may be able to splint it with a tiny piece of pipe cleaner and medical tape.Chicken toes take a few weeks to have all the bones harden up and stuff so if you splint it now it may stay straight even with out a joint there.Or you can contact a vet and get the toe removed, chickens do ok with missing toes.
