Baby chick splayed leg

[Dkm4444]

Is this a splayed leg? Recommended treatment?

Few hours old — assisted hatch.

I think most likely that will be a splay leg. I had a similar one in my last hatch, and it was an assisted hatch also. Here is an article I wrote about making my favorite type of splay leg brace. My chick was just fine after wearing the brace for about 2 days.
