Help spralded legs no pipe cleaner

[brkuk]

My last chicks leg looks backwards and out to the side. Should I tie them together with bread ties and put in a glass. Please help. Any pics would help.

I have never heard of that before. It would be interesting if it works. I have heard that it is a vitamin deficiency and if you add vitamins to the water within the first day or two, or get baby poly vi sol without iron and give it to them that it should help.
Hope your baby gets better soon!

I tape the legs together with a band aid. Rap the sticky parts, one on each leg. The cotton part is just the right width to have its legs where they should be an it still lets them move them an walk.

Thanks for link it helped out tons. I was freaking out. The chick would not stand or walk much. All 9 other are just fine. She was the biggest egg. Thanks everyone for the help. By the way I used yarn to tie them together.

Just make sure the yarn does not cut off the blood supply to the feet. That is an old trick my grandmother showed me before she died 30 years ago.

I tried tying my chick's legs together when I had one like that, I found the band-aid method to be much easier.
