Okay how do I do that?

There are quite a few ways to do it, but the main idea/goal is to bring the legs in and fix them to the correct position. I did it with a thin strip of self adhearing sports tape, but people use bandaids, tape, etc. Surely someone can find a link for you here. I just googled it when i needed it. I didn't have BYC then, lol.

I don't know. I've never done it, only read a lot of threads here that talked about it. I would start with the search function here on backyardchickens.
