curled foot

So I recently adopted this young pullet(who may be a rooster as she sometimes crows despite looking like a hen, we are waiting till shes old enough to lay eggs to be sure) and she has a deformed leg, I'm 99% sure it's a birth defect but im unsure what it's called exactly as I can't find any info...

Can a 4 month old rooster recover from curled toes? I noticed when he was younger one was wonky and he was fine. Now both feet are curled in. Is he too old to try to correct it?

Q1) I have a 16 week old quail who isn't behing like a hen or a roo. It doesnt crow or mount and doesn't have foam. It doesn't lay eggs. The rest of its covey is normal and laying since week 8. No stressers, 15hrs light, good food, tried solitary with very controlled food and also now with...

I’ve had this rooster since it was a week old, along with 7 other hens. He is the only one that has a curled toe like this. Any idea on why it’s like this and is it a cause of concern?

My 4 week old brahma has had an injured foot since we got her at a few weeks ago, it seems like she can't really move her toes but she's been walking on it pretty normally until a few days ago. Now shes been keeping it curled up and has been walking on her toes and she has a hard swollen purple...

I just got some chicks Saturday; three 1-week olds and one 4-week old. I found the smallest one (silkie) dead yesterday morning, I’m not sure if she was trampled. But she wasn’t under the heater, just right outside of it. But now one of the others is weird. She was exploring like the others and...

Not an emergency - just wanting to see if anyone has had experience with this - but I have a 6 week old silkie who has had a curled foot since she was born. I attempted to correct it right after hatch, thinking it was just her toes that were curled. I tried this for a couple weeks but nothing...

I ordered some female Jersey Giants from Hoover’s Hatchery and they just arrived! But after looking them over one of my little girls has toes that are curling really badly and almost giving her a club foot. How do I help her? The middle toe on the same foot also curls completely underneath her foot.

One of my newly hatched chicks can't stand or open their eyes. I thought they were just premature and needed time to develop but it's been about a day since hatch and no improvement and I realized that they can't move their feet at all. I can manually move her feet and toes just fine, there...

Ok, so I have a duckling that hatched today that has a really curly foot. The other one has straightened out, but the curly one doesnt seem to have as much mobility, and she keeps wanting to hold it behind her instead of undernieth her like the other. We are going to give it till tomorrow to fix...

our American buff hatched 3 beautiful goslings today and we noticed one has curled feet he’s scooting around with the front of his feet/ankles. I started on poly vi sol . What can I do to help this baby? Please help!!

Our Freya (American Buff goose) finally hatched her babies today and we noticed one gosling has curled up toes/foot and is scooting around on the front part of the foot with its front of ankle. This is our first time hatching and don’t know what is wrong with the baby or how to help. I bought...

Hi, We were given a 12 week old pullet that at first seemed just emaciated and weak. She barely ate the first few days but now she eats well, especially liking cooked egg yolks and dried meal worms in addition to the chick starter feed. Her head and neck move fine, but she doesn't stand or walk...

Hi everyone, There are a lot of wild chickens in my neighborhood, and I've been taking care of them occasionally for about a year. I dont know much about chickens, but this past year I've seen so many baby chickens die that I felt like I needed to step up. About 3 days ago I brought in a little...

First time looking after new chicks and I guess we already failed on the correct bedding. We were using puppy pads and a sprinkle of pine shavings and as a result we noticed a chick just sitting unable to walk in the brooder. The legs look both quite far apart from each other and it’s toes have...

hi there I have a chick who was in his shell for 40hrs after pipping. I noticed he has a curled foot, I’ve made a boot for both feet as I notice his other foot looks a bit wonky maybe. Before this I put a brace on him for spraddled feet, but figured he won’t need that brace if his feet are...

hi there, first time incubating and hatching. about 3 maybe 4 hours ago i had to hatch a chick, he was on day 23 and the membrane had turned yellow/brown so it started to dry out and also stick to him. Hes now fluffed up but still has some goo on him here and there. He was very exhausted, i was...

I just finished hatching a bunch of Coturnix Quail chicks (hatched 17th-18th) and two of them seem to have a curled foot (both seem to be the left foot). This is the first hatch I have had with this egg source. In previous hatches of my own eggs I have only had a curled foot two to three times...

Sometimes chicks will hatch with curled toes and I wanna know how you fix curled toes in your chicks. Please share your methods and pictures in this thread. This is how I do mine: I wait 24 hours after hatch to see if the will straighten out on their own. If they don't straighten in 24 hours I...

this little one is nearly 3 days old now and hasn't been able to walk, just sort of hobbles along/slides itself forward. at first we thought it was a bad case of splayed leg and made a brace for it but now are afraid it might be something worse since it does not like to use its right leg at all...
