I have a day old chick who doesn't stand just scoots and flap about on it's tummy. Is this splay leg or could it be something else - one of it's feet seems a bit twisted. It hatched by itself.

Can it stand up at all? what if you hold it, does it's legs stick out normally?I have a day old chick who doesn't stand just scoots and flap about on it's tummy. Is this splay leg or could it be something else - one of it's feet seems a bit twisted. It hatched by itself.

Very interesting i think you've hit on what it is. I've managed to bandage the joint and have got it in a sling. Will just have to keep up with trying to water and feed it.If it can't put weight on the leg at all, it might be slipped tendon
