Hello!

My hen has crooked toes, but im not sure why... She gets a really well balanced diet. She can scratch, jump, walk and run as well as the other hens. Is this a problem? Or should I not even worry. Thanks!

Sometimes crooked toes are genetic. If you're positive she's not nutrient deficient and there's no recent injury or behavioral cause for alarm.. then I'd not worry.

Toe just looks crooked. Likely has been like that for a while, I wouldn't worry about it. Leave it alone.
