PLEASE help!! 9 weeks old chick not walking

Could you maybe tape her toes flat, like the way people do when chick hatch with curled toes?

Thanks Kathy, that seems like another fun project to do

....
My kids are having a lot of crafts with this chicken anyway .
How do I do that??
Can I use any sort of tapes you normally have around like painters tape?
I am excited to see if she would be able to hold her weight with her new ducky feet

Her feet are pretty big, so you'll probably have to use a piece of this plasic, like maybe from the lid of a cottage cheese container? Cut that to size and then maybe duct tape?

Ok we are working on it now.
I have the grey duck tape but I thought maybe would be to sticky to take off.
I have also some white tape like the medical tape in the picture that is not so sticky.
Which one would you use?
And plastic is better than cardboard for the base right?
Oh she is going to like her new shoes I think.

I've used duct tape on peachicks, and yes, it was hard to get off, but she's much bigger, so it shouldn't be an issue. It might take several attempts with various materials until you find something strong enough to keep her feet flat.

Normal strapping tape works.

Her color looks good, is she keeping her weight steady?

I don't know. The scale I bought from eBay 10 days ago has not arrived yet

I would contest the purchase with e-bay since the seller obviously doesn't care that you needed it ASAP.
