One of the chicks that hatched today has a leg that was turned completely sideways at first. The knee joint is red and seems inflamed, but not really swollen. After a couple hours it seemed to be much straighter, but I would still like advice on exactly where and how to place the band aid in case it is not vastly improved by morning. I have read about the procedure, but have not seen actual pics.
Pics would be helpful if anyone has them?

Thank you Alex!
That is exactly what I was looking for.
I wasn't sure how high/low on the leg to place the brace and how long to make it. Now I know!
Hopefully, the little guy will be ok in the morning. If not, now I can help instead of make it worse!
 
The little guy is almost completely normal this morning!!
I had to look twice to make sure which one he was.
Thanks for the advice. I will keep those links in case I need them in the future.

Thanks again
