Chick can't walk...

[Ikaia]

i have a new chick that hatched today. my unlce, not knowing they can take an entire day to hatch, helped it out. its toes wont uncurl correctly and it cant get up. all it does us peep and flop. i thought it might be a neck injury, but its picking its head up now

Could it have Splayed legs?

the toes are curled, it cant stand at all. it lays on its side or back when not being supported

You can make a little boot for curled toes like this:

thank you sooo much. I have to go to my aunt's to get the band-aids, but I'll update you on its status once I get the boots on
