NEED ADVISE PLEASE!!

I have a 5 day old chick that stands with her/ his legs far apart. Doesn't run around like the others and is wobbly. I don't think it's spraddle legs because she can walk, eats and drinks. My question is will her legs strengthen and come together as she / he grows?

Can you show pictures?
I would say it's probably a less severe case of spraddle leg, the usual thing to do is take a small hair tie and piece of straw to help them grow together and not spread apart. Like this.

Sorry not the best pics for whatever reason, but maybe I'm over reacting?

It doesn't look too bad. If you feel more comfortable you could put the hobbles on him/her, but otherwise I would just keep a close eye on 'em. Also, you can put electrolytes in their water for added vitamins to strengthen them.
Good luck!

Thank you! She seemed to outgrow it some with every passing day.
