This is a cochin bantam chick I think.
He is 5 days old now. From the day he was hatched he had this little featherless patch on his head and a leg limp.
The patch is almost gone now. But his left leg shows no signs of improving.

I tried taping it and using a rubber band with a straw (like this) without trying to hurt him but does not look like that's helping.

Full album here: (can get more pictures on request)

This video will show in more detail what's happening:

Please let me know if there's anything we could do to help him

PS: Also let me know if I identified his breed wrong (Here are his father and mother)

Thank you. I'm gonna try this. What is a realistic expectation? Would this completely fix the legs?

And how long to do this or to cycle this
It probably will fix the legs realistic expectation is same as pic and doesn’t take to long
