Help! Splay leg?

[Kmarkello]

I hatched this baby from mystery eggs. I think it is a Brahma maybe.. I want to verify that this is splay leg or spraddle leg. I have braced it with a rubber band and a straw also also with a bandaid. No improvement. It’s about 30 hours old now.

Is there any hope for it? It looks like a boy- what do you think? What are my options? It’s the chick in the right- other chick for comparison.

If it’s only 30 hours old, you can keep on the brace. It takes longer than a couple days to correct it.

Hi there,
I just recently helped a chick recover from this that I thought had no chance so there is hope! I cut an sticky Ace bandage in half and carefully tied it around each leg to keep them in the proper place and also made little bandaid sandles because it had crooked toes that curled under. It took about three days and after the third day, I would carefully help it walk and now it’s thriving like there was never a problem!
