OK, Answer's tendon seems to be staying in place but now he has a twisted tibia.
Any thoughts, fixable or should I stop trying???

I am the type who doesn't like to give up, and if it was me I probably would. I just don't want you to get your hopes too high The person who told me how to do the taping said the age makes a huge difference, the older they get the less flexible the bones and cartilage become, therefore it gets harder to correct problems with what amounts to "traction". I was taping 5 chicks with varying degrees of twisting, all were successfully corrected, but the oldest was 5 weeks when we started. We experimented and honed our technique, you can kind of compare and see how the leg "should" be, getting it taped into a correct position is vital. The affected hock is often up against the good hock, we started cutting the foam pad into a wedge that was much wider at the hock and tapered to a point at the ankles, this forced the hocks apart while they were taped. We did this religiously every night, my son was my assistant and I couldn't have done it alone.Yea I had read your thread and that's what I was doing, only had him staying in during the day as well. Yours is the only post I have seen where you had success.
So maybe bring him back in and tape some more?
