Splayed leg.

It's not, splay (spraddle) leg is where their legs both constantly slide apart resulting in them looking like they're doing some form of the splits.
It’s my first incubator hatch ever! Got 7.5/ 10 so far. I think shrink wrapped one- it pipped then got rolled upside down by the hatchlings and when I righted it up was blowing bubbles out her beak like her air hole got plugged. So I opened it a little bit be but she’s been so slow that I got the babies out and now I know how shrink wrap happens! helped a bit more and put her back in to finish cooking.
Ill leave the three other eggs another day or so.

With some research certainly seems like a slipped tendon. I’ll try the roll in back in place technique. Glad I asked and thanks!!

That's a great hatch rate!
Oh no! How's it doing now? Hopefully it can still hatch ok, bubbles are not a good sign. Fingers crossed for her!

Perfect! I hope that works. Sorry that I couldn't help more!

Now I don’t think it’s a slipped tendo- I can’t straighten the leg. Maybe it’s deformed or broken?

and the little stuck chick has made it so far! Poor things feathers are all dried gummed up- not sure how to get her fluffy?

Awww! Did she ever walk normally or has it always been screwed up?

You can use a soft damp toothbrush on the sticky chick. Rub the down with it. It should help a lot.
