@Jessimom uses a rubberband/straw method maybe she can recall where she found it
and i will keep looking
 
I did not see that post. I hope they see this one!!

What I used was a drinking straw and a small rubber band. I cut a piece of the drinking straw to the size I wanted between the chicks legs. Then I fed the rubber band through the straw. I hooked the rubber band to each leg with the straw in between. It took 2 people. I don't think I could have done it by myself. I'll try to track down someone to help me with a photo.

But here's a video of what I did:



I put the chick into a tupperware container, then walked away for 2 minutes, came back and the chick had escaped the container.

Hi Daxigait! I'm not sure of the answer to this. The one that I had like that, I hobbled it's legs and it just lay there, didn't want to get up.. I could stand it up and it would waddle around, then fall over and lay there. But,it did seem to help bring that leg in. Problem was there was WAY more wrong with this chick then just it's leg, so I ended up culling it after it appeared it had a stroke of some sort.

The video I saw of someone hobbling a chick like that used a tiny bit of a drinking straw and a tiny rubber band. Just enough of the straw to fit between the legs, then feed the rubber band through the straw, hooked one loop on one leg and the other hood on the other leg with the straw inbetween. That seemed like it would work great. I didn't have any straws or rubber bands, so I used band aids.

Good luck!

I hope somene with more experience answers you!
