A little update...
She seems to be doing better. We got the band-aid off and she seems to be calming down. All of the other chicks are running around worried. Thank goodness for this website. These chicks are so small, making those little splints and putting them on is very hard. I don't want to stress them out too much, but I feel bad not doing anything. Thank you all for being so helpful. I panicked when I heard them chirping a lot louder than usual. I came to this website asap, I always read articles on here but never signed in and asked questions.

I wouldn't bandaid a freshly hatched button.
If the legs are going to straighten out they usually do within the first few days...provided they have a good flat grippy walking surface.

Do you have any grip shelf liner stuff laying around or can you get some?

You can try putting this chick in a tall but narrow cup.
A small diameter cup so it forced the legs yo stay together.
Tall so it can't jump out.



You mentioned you hatched some before but they died.
Where do the eggs come from?
Do you have at least one calibrated thermometer in your bator?
What about a salt tested humidity gauge?
What was your humidity at?

Thank you so much, I can stop by the store and pick some up. They are on wood chips right now, I will use the grippy stuff. How long should the chick stay in the cup? The eggs I had to order online, I had 2 calibrated thermometers, I did not have a salt tested humidity gauge. My humidity was at 50% and on day 14 it was at 60%. One of the two chicks was deformed, That chick did not make it very long. The other one while it was still in the bator our power went out. It was a very unsuccessful hatch.

They are about 9 days old. The splayed legs started about 2-3 days ago. They are on wood shavings and by the food dishes its paper towels.

Whats the bottom of your bator look like?

The incubator I used is https://www.amazon.com/Farm-Innovators-Model-2100-Incubator/dp/B007571D2K. The bottom is a plastic grate. It is Farm Innovators Model 2100 Still Air Incubator

To post a video, you have to upload it to youtube or another video platform and post the link here. Its annoying you can post a video in a conversation, but not on a thread.
