Silkie chick with a leg issue

[silkielover88]

I have a 2 day old silkie chick and one of it's legs is splayed out to the side, the other is fine, is there a way to fix it? I can post a pic if needed

Recently had to take my Silkie to the vet to be put down. Her tendons grew unattached to her bones and she was unable to move. Vet said there was no way to fix it. Hope you have better luck with your little one!

This little one can stand on the one leg, but the other is out to the side. I was thinking of putting it down if I have to. Just hoping there is a chance for the poor little guy

I just hatched several chicks and a few of them have the same problem is there any way there leg will get well?

Make sure you have them on a proper surface and nothing too smooth. Paper towels work well at first.
