Is this spraddle leg?

Thank you. We also watched several videos about straightening the tendon. We tried it…and hope it worked. and we wrapped the tendon area with self adhesive wrap with just a bit of tension..not tight at all…to hopefully hold the tendon in place. My husband made a mug and cloth type sling that we put the little ones feet through so the legs will dangle. We read we should leave him like this for 24 hours. I will keep checking the feet-toes and legs throughout the 24 hours. His foot and leg did get a bit swollen. If you know something I can do for this while he is dangling…that would help. And..if you have any suggestions, I would appreciate that too. Do we have him in a good position for healing?Meanwhile…we are praying this helps. I am feeding him on the piece of cardboard on top of the box..and he is eating just a tiny tiny bit. And I am giving him water every 2 hours too. Also including vitamins, electrolytes, and poultry nutri drench. He’s not please with ANY of this though

I wouldn't do the sling. It won't hurt to leave it in the cup.

You don’t think the sling will help the tendon set? (I am a bit concerned that her legs will fall asleep)…but In the cup he can touch the bottom…is that ok for the injury? I just want to do the best thing for this to heal.
