we had this little fella hatch out almost 3 days late and noticed he has a “locked leg”.. it can’t bend its leg to straighten it out. it hatched july 3rd. does anyone know what could be the problem and how i could possibly fix it?

You'll have to get cast to try and have it heal the proper way... Best it to go to a vet to have them professionally put it on and make sure it's on the correct way. However, the vet might find it to be something different and need different care. Hope that helps!

I'm thinking a niacin deficiency similar to chicks having a riboflavin deficiency. This link is for splay leg but you should check it out for other leg symptom issues.
