Coban looks similar to VetWrap, I’ve never used it so I don’t know if it has similar cohesion. The trick is to wrap around the leg and stick it back to itself, leaving at least 1/4 to 3/8” on each side to fold back to center. You have to squeeze the wrap hard enough the spongy texture flattens out, then the chick can’t get it off.
Last time I did that it took the chick about 36 hours to really get the hang of walking with the hobbles, and I had to watch carefully to keep her from falling in the water. Once she figured out how to shuffle with it she could move almost as fast as the other chicks, and the hobble never budged until I took it off after 7 days. She grew up into a happy healthy pullet with no sign of leg weakness or mobility issues.
