Karri-
I just had two hatch about 3 weeks ago like that. I used masking tape for their legs. I found the site for splayed legs on the internet. Well, 1 was cured overnight..the other it took two full weeks of retaping and exercising. After I taped the legs, I would put Her(I hope) in a coffee cup several times a day. It was very weak and her legs would shake. I would make sure she ate. I also seperated her from the rest of the chicks and put her with a small stuffed dog that she thinks is her mom. I finally took the tape of about a week ago. She is not 100 percent, but she walks, hops, eats, and drinks fine. I'm hoping she will continue to improve.
Good luck to you. Let us know.
