Thank you everyone! But a new problem has arisen and I feel like there's no way to fix it, but the chicks leg has been weird ever since it came out of the egg. He drags it behind him and doesn't really seem to move it at all just pulls it behind him while he shuffles all over the place. And it seems his hip may be dislocated or something like that it mainly just dosen't look like the other hip at all and I'm afraid it's different than splayed leg. We have tried all of the different ways to fix it the rubber in the straw a band aid and even tried a pantyhose type sling I saw on here but that didn't work either. I'm afraid he didn't grow right or something because he keeps his leg incredibly straight when we try to put both his legs under him. I'm completely at a loss and have no idea what to do or if it's even splayed leg anymore... I'll add pictures but I just want to know any thoughts on this or remedies

If you just don't know what to do to fix it, snapping its neck is the only thing left. We as humans are responsible for replacing "the natural order" in these cases. The chick would probably have been eaten by now in the wild.
No, I am not trying to horrify you. It just sounds like it needs to be let go.

The last picture is his good leg and the first three its showing how the hip is popped out and the legs completely straight.
