Newly hatched chick with deformities- diagnosis and treatment?

[Rebacopter32]

As you can see, one leg is curled up and the other is down low, and his toes are out of wack. I've been searching on this, and I think he has a slipped tendon and curled toes. I know how to fix the toes, but I'm confused on the slipped tendon. Apparently you're supposed to pull it back into place- not sure how to do that. I'm also not sure which leg to pull- the curled upward one, or the one down low? Can anyone help with this? Much thanks in advance.

it's still wet. place something with better traction and wait for him to dry.sometimes it works itself out as it dries on something that gives him good footing..

This was taken hours ago He's a but more fluffy now, but his legs look the same and his toes are still curled. He can't get on his belly.

I have heard of a way to splint curled toes, but I can't remember how. Maybe one of the others know.

Here is a link to Poultry Podiatry. Hope this little fella makes it.

His leg is back in place and his feet are being treated. Thanks, that website helped a bunch.

I'm glad your little one made it. It should be nice and tame with all the handling it's getting. Good luck
