Hi @tcwolf ,

you can upload your video to YouT*be or similar platform and post the link here.

Did you help it hatch?

Aww poor little guy. Don't give up on him.

I can't tell if the chick's toes are curled up or simply crooked to the side. I tried -- fairly unsuccessfully -- to slowly straighten out the toes of one of my Cochin Bantam chicks; her toes were crooked to the side, curving inward. I got ONE long toe on one foot fairly straight after many days attaching tiny "shoes" made of cardboard cut to the shape of her foot and attached with sports tape.

The good news is that while Maxie's feet look awful, she is now almost 8 weeks old and gets around fine. Good luck with your baby!

Cardboard shoes help straighten out toes.
Place the foot flat on a piece of cardboard and put some plaster or tape on top.

That one leg looks twisted backwards. Thinking bone deformity.

I'm not sure, and do you have any updated pictures of the chick?
