I have a duckling that hatched yesterday with some assistance but it’s legs seem to have a problem. I would love to get some help with trying to get this duckling on its feet.

here are some pictures of the duckling in question

look forward to hearing something that might help. It is currently still in the incubator in a tub with its legs wrapped up in the more folded position under it.
 
Here is my temp fix not sure if it’s right or not but it was all I could think of.

I made little boots out of a tooth pick stick and bandaids for each foot . Not sure if they are right but I am hopeful that it might work.

Then I bandaided the two boots together.
I have gotten it to take a few drops of b complex water and nutra-drench through out today.

anyone think this might work? And how long I should try it?
