This is Uno. She was the only chick out of 13 eggs to hatch.

Hello good forum,

Here looking for advice.

Uno is a cuckoo Marans chick. She is so named because she is the only one to hatch. She has curled toes and splay leg.

Fortunately, she's making a turn around, because I used an internet trick to help her toes uncurl and also her splay leg.

She's now able to stand up on her own, which is a huge improvement. Her curled toes look straight now.

Uno lives in the house and is eating and drinking. I also gave her some poultry cell.

All in all, she's doing so much better. I hope she's eventually able to walk.

She's extremely fiesty and is the loudest chick I've ever had.

What advice do you all have about caring for curled toes and splay leg in very young chicks?

She's two days old.

I have no useful advice, just admiration that you are doing your best to help her live a good life.

Usually both legs in splay legs are splayed apart. If just one leg is going out to the side, that could be a leg bone deformity or a slipped tendon. Could you post a picture from the front of how the chick normally stands? Here is a good article on how to tape curled toes, which only works in the first week or two of life:
