Thank you. We're setting it up now

try the no slip shelf liner, that might be all it needs to fix the legs (sometimes towels are too slippery). If still splayed tomorrow morning I think you will need to hobble it. This is what I do for splay legs:

We’ve already hobbled it. This is him attempting to walk

Right before we put him back in the incubator, he started preening and even went for a drink of water on his own!

It looks a lot perkier in the video than the pictures, so it might be okay in the brooder box. Your hobble job looks pretty good, though it might work a little better if you get the legs closer together. Play around, see what works best, but I think you're on the right track!

If it's that active it might be okay in the brooder box.

He's chirping up a storm in the incubator. Should we move him to the brooder box or leave him there, and does the humidity matter at this stage?

I have to leave so I can’t watch Peanut, so if any more videos are needed you need to ask her.

I think if he can move around in the brooder box he'll be okay in there. I was concerned because in the first picture he didn't look very alert.
