My chick that just hatched has a wired looking foot. It is kind of turned and curled up. What is wrong with it? She can walk fine, though.
 
Sometimes chicks just come out that way lol. i dont have any chickens like that personally but a friend of my brothers does and she is one of their best laying hens

ive heard that it could be caused by improper humidity levels during incubation, but im not sure how true that is.

Heres a pic i found on google from a past post on here. apparently this condition is fairly common and usually isnt a mobility issue for the chicken unless their whole foot is curled and not just the toes...
