I "fixed" one of my chicks 2 weeks ago. You can't even tell today. You need to make a "shoe" for him so his foot flattens out. Check out this website - http://www.peafowl.org/ARTICLES/1/ You also may need to put the hobble brace on him if his legs are bent out to the sides. I hope this helps! good luck.

There was another post on here acouple of weeks ago. for that chick they used a tape like a sports wrap that is foam. one peice on the bottom, stick the foot on it with toes in the correct position then another peice of tape on top to hold it togother.
A bandaid will work to hold the legs from splaying out.
Hope it works out for you.
