I posted this in the hatching eggs section, but just incase that's not the right section...

I just did a hatch of 5 eggs. Only 1 has hatched so far, and the chicks leg is developed out to the side instead of under it, so it can't walk!

Does anyone know what to do? help!
 
Here's video. You need to hobble the legs so it brings the legs together under the chick. You can use a rubber band as in the video or vet wrap elastic bandage. The chick will start to try to stand and walk after a day or two, and should be good in a week. Leave it on longer if needed. Make sure the chicks gets water and food in the meantime.
