Leg Issues - Possible Twisted Tibia - Help w/ Diagnosis

[clucks_and_ducks]

We hatched this chick about 36 days ago. I didn't notice anything when she was born, but my wife claims that her toes always seemed to point out, but recently, within ten days, her leg really started pointing backwards. She can still stand and hops around to food and water, but obviously this isn't normal.
After some searching I came across this site https://unitedpeafowlassociation.org/articles/twisted-tibia-in-young-poultry/
We attempted to tape the leg as described in the article for the past four or five days without much noticeable improvement.

I'll continue to tape the leg, but I'd like to hear from some with more experience if this is in fact a twisted tibia or something else. I've checked the tendon and from what I've read, it appears to be in place, but I've included a picture of the back of the hock. I've included some pictures that hopefully show the condition. I can get pictures of anything else you may want to see. I'd just like to make sure I'm treating the correct problem.

Welcome To BYC!

I've never seen where some one was ever able to correct a leg deformity like that.

Sadly, I must report that the last two that I had I was not able to fix and had to be euthanized.

Thanks for the responses. Not good news, but I appreciate the information as I didn't have enough knowledge to search out what this may be.

So sorry about your chick. I would guess that it is a twisted tbia, but that is a leg bone deformity that probably cannot be treated.
