Splint yes? Or splint no? Chick with slightly curled toes.

This chick hatched this morning. Her toes are a bit curled. Not anywhere near as badly as a hatchmate, whose toes were completely curled under and to the insides, which made it nearly impossible for her to walk.
This one clearly isn't that bad. But I was wondering, since I have the Vetwrap out anyhow, should I splint this little one, or wait a bit and see if it gets better.
 
I would splint them. I've not seen bent toes get better on their own.

Thanks for the swift answer, I'll splint right away. Should give her sister some company in the recovery pen. :D
