Chick with weird leg

[prncss4frog]

Hi,
I got a chick from the feedstore and her right leg sticks out in front of her at all times. I can bend it back like the other and she doesnt seem to mind.
Is it fixable? Should I mess with it? I have pics, but dont know how to post them

I had one similar this year, except it went slightly behind. We used the "band-aid method". You can do a search on this forum for band-aid method (may need to try band-aid, band aid, etc to see what works). We kept it on for a week and now at 5.5 weeks, he is fine (honestly we can't tell which one is him anymore!). Good luck!

Thanks for your help. she seems to be improving. She is atleast sitting on both her feet.

That's good. I hope she keeps improving!
