How to treat splayed leg or legs in baby chicks!

[Zacharym]

recently I have gotten into incubating and hatching chicks, specifically quail chicks. I experienced splayed leg in multiple chicks because or many different reasons. I tried many methods such as the bandaid method with no success. I eventually found THE QUICKEST AND EASIEST WAY TO FIX SPLAYED LEGS: step 1-put the baby chick in a cup that makes the bird keep his legs under him in the correct position
(May have to put a paper towel in the bottom to make the cup smaller depending on size of bird)
Step2- leave him in the cup for 20-30 minutes ( he/she will chirp excessively. It’s okay don’t worry) he will move and try to get out of the cup strengthening his legs in the right position!
Step3- boom he should be fixed! I have used this method about 6 times all with the same results. After just one session the chick can stand up properly (May be a little wobbly) once he can stand up on his own he will fix himself. Yes it’s that easy

That's amazing! Could you post a photo of a chick in a cup so we know the size of the cup in relation to the size of the chick?
