So I just incubated a bunch of baby's and my Mille has like a weird toe deformity. It's like his out side toe didn't develop right so it's like he walks on it. Because of that, his little leg just slides all over the place.

I'm not sure of I can do anything for it but I just want to here some opinions from y'all on byc!

I'll add a pic

I believe you are dealing with a slipped achilles tendon, and if you try to fix it right away, it may take. Run your thumbs down the back of the leg, and try to feel the tendon that may feel like a loose band. Then press it back in place, and use vet wrap to keep it in place. Check it often in case it comes loose. This deformity is not always successfully fixed. Also put chick vitamins in the water--Avian Super Pack is a good brand. Here are some links to read (scroll way down the page on the first one to "fix slipped achilles tendon"): https://sites.google.com/a/poultrypedia.com/poultrypedia/poultry-podiatry
