I’ve had splayed leg chicks a few times, actually one I bought with Icebear has it as well but it doesn’t look as bad on her, she walks fine and doesn’t wobble when she stands but she does stand super weirdly but occasionally normally. I think I can find another elastic band if I need to but I’d rather not if it’s not needed… especially with her feet feathers. I don’t want to accidentally pull her feathers

Her legs look pretty close together, so I doubt that she has splay legs. Very hard to tell, but they can sometimes have a slipped tendon or a leg bone deformity which tends to show up a bit later. Are her feet facing mostly forward, and are both legs bending normally when she walks? Human B complex tablet vitamins or chick vitamins that contain riboflavin (many do not,) are good for leg and feet problems in chicks.

Yes she appears to walk normally, it’s hard to tell with all the fluff but I don’t see any limp or hesitation
