My chicks foot is on backwards?!

[alecia555]

hi everyone!!
i’m really after some help. i just hatched some lavander sussex and one of them was over 48 hours without getting fully out so we helped him out.
he looked fine in the incubator however when we took him out and into a brooder he could not stand or walk. his leg looks like it’s on backwards!
if anyone can leave some advice on how to treat him that would be much appreciated because i’m already very attached to her and don’t want to lose her
thanks so much xx
(she is in a quarantine box btw)

Sorry I can't tell the position of the leg in the picture. Hope someone with experience can help.

this is a better photo. the left leg is the one i’m worried about and right has some curled toes that i’m already fixing

Genetics can get pretty funky. She has good parents right? Like healthy.

Wow that's a tough one to fix.

Can she walk at all?

i got them as fertile eggs from another breeder so i’m not 100% sure but the rest of them all hatched healthy and well

Still can't tell by the pic. Try splinting the "backward " leg
and add Riboflavin (B2) to the drinking water.
