This little chick is a big goof. I opened up the coop at 9 and it was in the water dish, soaking wet. I brought it in the house and put it in the bator to warm/dry then back out to it's cage again. It has both booties off, I guess it figured it could just soak the bootie off.

The chick actually looks more like a black cochin than a silkie

Feet are easily straightened IF it is done in the first couple days of life. After that, the bones are starting to harden and it's not as successful. Not sure what you used to make your chick bandages, but you can use a thin cardboard (I use a piece from a soft drink carton) and secure with duct tape. You may have to separate the chick with one other to keep it company in a small area so it's not getting pecked at and give those toes a chance to straighten out.

I researched toe fixing on my little nan and came across a thread that suggested using the press -n- seal cling wrap to adhere the toes as it doesn't actually stick to the chicken's toes. They claimed to have great success with it?

Thank you all for your great suggestions, but climbing in the water dish cooled it's body temp to low for it to survive. I'm also wondering if it didn't have other deformities than just the feet.
It passed away last evening.

@kelar, I've explained this before. The friend I get my eggs from doesn't have cochins, I go to her place to pick out the eggs I want to help hatch and I know what a cochin looks like since I own some. It hatched from a small off-white egg not a brown egg. Also she keeps all her breeds in separate coop/run areas as not to mix their breeds. Since she has a good 150 chickens and at least 10-15 different breeds I think she would know what breeds she has.
Sorry for being so blunt, but I know what egg the chick hatched from. I check my incubator every few hours per day to see which hatch that day.
