Hatched Chick Witch Leg Folded Inside Itself (Help!!)

[Pixo]

At first I thought it was missing a leg but it appears to have its leg folded into the hole in which its yolk sac is absorbed, I tried pulling on it but I don't want to hurt it, advice please!

Didn't want to have the situation get any worse so I had to pull the leg out. Pretty major yolk oozing and I have him in a rag lined mug in the incubator now. Hope he survives.

I’m interested, did the chick survive? Also if you took pictures of the leg where it was folded in, could you post those? I’ve never heard of this happening.
