Splayed legs?

[loveallanimals]

I have an EE who just hatched an hour ago it's legs are spread out from side to side. I can hear it trying to move but it can't stand up. What do I do?

yes, you need to catch this in the 1st 24 hours for best effect. Look up "spraddle legged chick. Pipe cleaner splints. either on BYC or the net.

Here, read this thread for help.
