Do splayed legs ever fix by themself?

I usually recommend tube feeding larger birds and if the chick were mine I would tube it. To tube it you would need a pretty small tube, like an 8 french, which you might at a vets office. You could also try force feeding it small crickets or bits of egg.

thank you for this comment Kathy. I am currently trying bits of hard boiled yolk. But I have decided that I won't be tube feeding it.

It sounds like this little chick has some serious challenges. I wish the best for you & think it's great you are seeing what you can do for it.

Thank you SpeckledHills. I don't see how it is going to improve, band aid or no band aid. It doesn't get the hang of standing upright and lists to one side when I do physical therapy with it. As it is not eating either, I think I will just continue to give it liquid through a syringe and gently let it go.
