My Welsummer chick (Lady Catherine de Bird) is 2 weeks old and tonight I noticed that one of her toes on each foot is oddly spread out.

I’ve had quail chicks with splayed leg and curled toes before and this doesn’t look like either. The Lady Catherine does not appear to have any issues with walking.

Anyone have any idea what this is? I feel like it’s a cosmetic issue but I don’t want to ignore a problem that later becomes debilitating.

It could be that it's just a big rooster foot. It looks perfectly fine to me.
