new chick with hurt leg

[musicalteach]

Help! I have banded/ hobbled it's legs but I think something is wrong. I am attaching a pic. What can I do???

Looks like the toes need to be put in a standing position, uncurled, then taped to some cardboard or something. Here's a good source for foot and leg problems:

Can you see his tendon on his left leg - it has no skin/ covering. What do I do about that - is it a slipped tendon? I don't want to hurt the little chick trying to put it back in place if that isnt what it is.

OMG you need to go ask about this in the injuries thread. It looks like both legs are open and damaged! Do you have any idea what happened to the poor thing?

no, it hatched in my incubator at school - I will post in the injuries thread - thank you. I am new to all of this.
