I am really new to hatching chicks/ducks. One of my new ducklings seems to have splayed legs. I looked to see how to help this and I saw some posts for wrappings. I wanted to see if I could get anymore advice. I’ll be adding a picture to see if the wrap is right too. I’m worried because his legs are still more behind instead of under his body.

Could you take the wrap off, and post a video of the duckling trying to walk? To post a video upload it to a video platform such as youtube, or Vimeo, and copy/paste the link here.
I will try to do that in a little while. He’s mostly walking like a seal. Mostly belly movement.
