Chick can't walk: stepping on feet

[southernflock14]

This chick had to be helped due to his head under his wing and pipping in the wrong end. He can't walk well due to him stepping on his feet. What can I do to help him he has been out for11 hrs.

Anyone?

I have one that is stepping on its wings (not on its own feet). Someone on another thread mentioned that it might have splayed leg and to try wrapping a band-aid around both legs to get them to sit under the chick properly.

I am headed to the brooder now to try it out. I think that might do the trick for it.

Hope that helps.

It seems like mine just hadn't figured out the whole walking thing . He is walking like a pro this evening

It does take them 12 to 24 hours to get the walking thing down.
