Question about Japanese Bantam chicks legs - Pic Included

[Vegasgalatheart]

Hello there everyone. I am a long time lurker, but, I finally had to jump in and ask a question. I just hatched out some eggs, and this morning, my little japanese bantam hatched, yay! Anyway, this little guy seems to be having a leg issue. I dont know if it is splay leg or is it something to do with Japanese bantams? It looks like it has the short legs of the breed, but, he cant get them underneath himself to stand, they are just kind of off to the sides. Is this something that I can fix with the bandaid trick, or, will he need to be culled out? Thank you for any advice.

This picture is just because

Wow that is really cute. I have no experience with japanese bantams, but I would try the bandaid thing first and then check back.

None of the japanese chicks I got today are spraddled like that.

Can be fixed with the bandaide trick. Just do it quickly or it will be reversable...

I just wanted to thank everyone for thier suggestions ( and the Welcome

) . I couldnt get the bandaid to work on his little midget legs

He is actually a short legged Japanese, anyway, I did fashion a pipe cleaner hobble for him and when I woke up this morning, he is standing on his feet!

Anyway, I just wanted to update and again, thanks for the advice.
