Idea for treating splay legs

[mamablair]

So I am dealing with a splay legs for the first time and this is what I found to be the easiest way to hobble a chick.i took 2 tiny clear hair bands and tied them together. They stretch very well to get on and off and since they are clear the other chicks don't pick at it much at all.

Nicely done! The chick looks so much better with the hobble.

I would consider a vitamin supplement to speed the healing..
