This keet hatched October 23 has been holding leg out
Not sure how it got injured but was fine for first week
Thought it might be ok on its own but maybe it is too late
Any advice apppreciated!

Picture? If it’s legs are separated, it might have splay leg, but since it is almost a month old, it might be hard to treat.
 
It is more like a contracture. Can't straighten leg all the way and toes turning out. Walking on elbow. The other leg seems fine. I thought about a shoe or a splint or both. I do stretch the leg out daily.
