what does it mean if your chick keeps doing the splits? like it usually one leg that keep sliding. he can run and stuff but its mostly when hes still
 
What do you have on the bottom of the brooder? If it is too slippery (like bare newspaper), the chicks can't get a grip and slip. This can cause Splayed Legs. If that is the problem, you can try fixing it by making a hobble with gauze pads and a band-aid to hold the chick's legs the appropriate distance apart. Make sure the band-aid is not too tight and that none of the sticky parts are against the chick (that's where the gauze comes in).

If you can post a picture, that would be very helpful for others to determine the problem.

Hope it helps. Not sure how the hair tie stays in place or keeps the correct spacing for the chicks legs. Can you post a picture? I am interested to see it.

No, you dont tie the legs together. It needs to look like this.
