Splayed leg keet

[AMoritz]

I have 2 hatched keets so far, Earl is 4 days old and Evie is 2 days old.
Evie appears to have splayed leg. I though it was just cuz she was very young but it's def not getting better. There are times both her legs are OVER her wings
I read an article on here to use a small rubber band and a straw. I am currently out of straws, and no pipe cleaners. Any other suggestions?

I had the SAME problem last year. I found this article and did the steps and I worked. It’s simple and easy to do! And it works! https://www.muranochickenfarm.com/2012/10/spraddle-leg-band-aid-fix.html?m=1
Good luck!

Ooooo a bandaid seems to be the better option, I was worried too about a straw beating up her poor legs. I just went out a bit ago and got some straws and did this before I saw your reply
I'm going to take it off and do the bandaid instead. Should it be more around their ankles, in the middle, or up towards the "knee" joints more? I don't want to cause her anymore stress then she already has

The middle of the leg. Closer to the ‘ankles’.

Awesome, ty. That's where the elastic/straw splint is but I want to make sure I don't cause other issues for her either.

She’s lucky to have such a caring owner like you!

Thank you I really appreciate it, now here's to her pulling through #crossesfingers

Well we're on the subject of Evie, I took her bandaid splint off and replaced it with a new one (upon observation today the first one was too loose), I was getting worried she might not be eating and/or pooping. Right after I got done putting her new bandaid splint on she pooped on my mudroom floor. Does this look normal? When I cleaned it up there was a little bit of white underneath it all.
I have been picking her up and dipping her beak into the water tray a couple times every time I walk through to make sure she's getting enough to drink.
I'm not familiar with how it should be/look as this is my first batch of keets.

So I fixed her splayed leg, yey! Ty!

But now I see she's walking on her hocks

What can I do to fix this?!
