Gosling’s foot is turned under, help please!

[Jenbirdee]

he hatched under his mommy about 18 hours ago approximately . he was trying to eat pine chips and mommy goose was standing up to let me see him and i think she wanted to take him to food and water but he stumbled and can’t walk. so i picked him up and his foot is bent under. but i gently straighten it and it’s flexible so i think a little boot splint thing can help!? i took him away from parents so i can try to help him. momma goose still has 3 more eggs hatching., i hope she stays with it? do you think taking one away, will disrupt her brooding the others to finish the hatch? One of them already has a hole in it the size of a nickel. ( baby coming out soon) here’s pictures

make a boot so the foot lays in natural position @Jenbirdee.

I think a little boot should help, poor little guy! , the other gosling hatching should encourage her to stay on the nest.

I got away with putting my ducklings foot down on a piece of tape on a flat surface. I put a piece of tape on top of it to hold it in place. By morning I could not believe it, it had gotten the tape off and was walking just fine. This was after two weeks of not being able to use it and it's leg not working at all at first. The leg started to work on its own and then I did the foot which was curled up just like your baby's is. Good luck with it, it's absolutely darling!!!!
