How old is this crooked toed chick? I have not had good results fixing toes on
older chicks. I fixed three chicks this summer as day old chicks, I used pipe
cleaners and medical tape like the UPA article recommended. I had tried making a
"duck foot" but the chick refused to move. I did have one chick that had crooked
toes and splay legs, I hobbled and kept changing the splints as it grew, but I
wasn't able to fix her. She was miserable and I put her down at 4 weeks old.
Good luck!
