I had a chick hatch last night. This morning she is up walking around but i noticed her toe on the outside of the food is curled under the whole foot and the remaining 2 toes. Which causes her not to walk as good as she could. Is there something i could do for this?

If the baby is this young dont worry about it, it usally straightens out by itself, if it does this into 3 to 4 weeks old, then you should be concerned. But not this young, sometimes it takes their toes time to straighten out after hatching out of an egg they were curled up in. At this age you should allow the parents to care for them entirely without your input at all other then looking in on them.

I don't know much about chick es but i would think that you could take a small stick and tie it to the toe like a small splint

take it to the vet to get it checked out. it could be an abnormality that she will just have to live with

i had one but it dyed of dehydration and birds haft to constontly eat and drink every 2 hours and he/she most likely has an imprint on you so he/she thinks your its moma so you haft to let it sleep for 2hours a day on bare flesh and also carry her/him around go to a bird stor for leg braces
