So I three weeks ago hatched out a batch of chicks from my flocks eggs, Everything when fine until week two when one of my Australop chick has a bad walk assumed it was Splayed/Spraddle Leg like one of my chicks had the year before. So my mom and me tried rubber bands but those weren't seeming to help cause of rising up so then we moved onto band aid but the chick kept pecking it off but was walking a bit better. I didn't know what to do cause the chick would peck them off like every 5-10 minutes so I left them off since i didn't wanna waste band aids. One of the last time I put on a band aid i saw something weird when holding the chick she had a normal leg but her other leg was turned at the hip/ up thigh couldn't tell and I don't know what to do or how to help it's been a day or two of me worrying and searching the internet I still make sure she gets water and food she's also the runt it seems like so if anyone as any suggestions.
We don't have a vet for chickens to my knowledge around here and whenever I looked it up on the internet splayed/saddle leg comes up I dont know if the broke it or what but its an issues I have no idea how tot fix, I can try to get a picture but I don't know when
