Sometimes you'll hatch a bird(s) with a leg sticking out sideways or noticeably curled toes. I'm sure there are legitimate names for these issues, but we're going to say gimpy legs and curly toes.

Usually it's just a bird or two, but poor genes and/or sketchy incubation can cause multiple to hatch this way. If it's one out of the 50+ you just hatched, just cull it. But, you can try to fix it if you can't live with doing what I said.

For the gimpy leg, tie them together like shackles. A bandaid works well, but it can be difficult to remove later. Some people use a hair tie with a piece of tape in the middle or simply use string.

For the curly toes, make a little sandle with a bandaid.

Give it a few days and some observation. There's a good chance you'll save the little shit. Just be gentle, it's likely the smallest, most fragile animal you've ever held in your hand.

Thanks for the thoughtful response. Already subscribed and I'll start some posts of my own journey once I get started.

Good deal! There's a resource index of sorts as a sticky. You don't have to follow my instructions at all. I like cheap, easy, and being as lazy as possible. That's sort of the theme in most of my posts. Good luck.
