I had one where all toes were in a complete circle because all toes were curved. She roosted okay, but always choose a roost closer to the ground. I still think it's genetics. Otherwise I would have seen more than one in my batch if it was from a deficiency.

Those look like crooked toes. You can see by her being so hard to catch up to that they don't seem to bother her.

She should lay fine. I've had crooked toes in some of my birds. It doesn't seem to bother them. It mostly affects the look of the bird and probably to some extent their ability to scratch productively. I personally would never hatch from stock with crooked toes as I wouldn't want it passed on.

Is it actually broken or just crooked? Crooked toes is generally genetics or, it can be caused by improper feeding of the adult stock the egg came from, or a vitamin deficiency in the chick.
