Possible splayed leg??

[Chickad00]

The chick cannot stand up on its own. I’m not sure if it’s a slipped tendon or not. I braced the leg and tried to get it to eat but it won’t. It was an assisted hatch also.

My uncle had a chicken that was an assisted hatch who couldn’t stand (we think it was spraddle leg) He braced it with a rubber band and a straw. The chick proceeded to live a long life as the rooster of a flock.
I hope this helps

Do you have a picture, or video of the chick?

This does help thank you. Do you know if it’s leg was splayed out back wards or to the side?

How long has it been since hatch?

Something about that leg doesn't seem quite right.

How long has it been since hatch?

About 2 days

Yeah at 2 days old the leg should definitely not be in that position. It reminds me of either a valgus or varus deviation of the joint. I've never personally dealt with it, but that's kind of what it looks like to me.
