i noticed my 2 month old olive egger (cockerel?) had a bent toe. he doesn’t seem to be in pain and can still run and eat, and isn’t really getting picked on by the others too much. what should we do?

It looks healed to me, and you say it's not bothering him. I'd leave the chick alone. After all, what can you do? Rebreak it and set it?

I would do a check around to see if there's anywhere he could have gotten his toe caught (Overlapping wire that can pinch, nails sticking out of the roost) but it's likely just one of those things.
