Can Splay Leg Self Correct???

[Shan30]

I have 18 Blue/Black Amerecauna chicks that I picked up on sunday from the breeder. These guys were hatched on Saturday.

The flooring she had them on was a bit slippery and one was displaying splay leg on just one leg.

I picked up vet wrap on my way home yesterday with the plan of hobbling this little one, however, when I arrived home I had a hard time spotting the right chick. Once I did I noticed that it seems to have improved. She gets around, eats, drinks and doesn't get picked on.

Does splay leg ever self correct once the chick is on a more grippy surface? I would prefer not to have to separate her but want to do whatever is best for her. She has the best coloring the group too.

Please help!

Hi congrats on the new chicks. I would do a hobble to help support her but, leave her in with the others. She may only need it for a day or two if she has already improved on her own. I would also add some vitamins in their water. Here is some great info to read over https://sites.google.com/a/poultrypedia.com/poultrypedia/poultry-podiatry.
