chick with bad foot HELP!!!

[lovemywhatwhat]

I am new to raising baby chicks from hatch and one of my chicks from my first incubation has a bad foot. I would like to know what caused this problem and if there is anything I can do to help fix his foot. This is a picture of the sweet little chick what do yall think?

How old is the chick?
If less than 24 hrs wait and see, as curled toes often resolve if the chicks are kept on a towl (or other good gripping surface).
If more than 24 hrs you can make a "boot" ie spread the toes out and tape them on to some light card.

Best results usually come if this is done at 24hrs -48 hours

@Phage he is 4 days old is it to late it went from being just on toe to all of them I kept him under a heat lamp and used paper towels could that be what caused it?

How is the baby chick doing? Is the foot straightening out?

 

[lovemywhatwhat]

@Mother Hen it did straighten out but today when I checked it looked like it was starting to go back may have to do it again and leave it on longer
