Spraddle leg or pulled muscle in 13 day old duckling?

[MarlyMonster]

One of my two ducklings just slipped and now his left leg is kinda sticking out to the side. Did he just pull a muscle and will it go back to normal on its own or should I worry about spraddle leg? I’ve already looked it up and found out how to correct it but I have no clue if it would even work on a 13 day old duckling.
Help?

Can you post a video ? Your sure it did pop out of its socket?

I don’t think it popped out, it just kinda seems to scoot out to the left like he’s doing the split with one leg. Nothing dislocated for sure. He’s walking a bit better already but still not fully normal. He’s also a little handicapped so that doesn’t help him lol

Will try to take a video

You could try hobbling for a little while and see if it helps us this the one with the crooked neck? If you look up sprawled leg you’ll see how to hobble. And be sure to keep them off of slick surfaces.

What type surface is he walking on - smooth or textured ?

I saw that! Mostly in young chicks though so I wasn’t sure if it would help? How long should I keep it on?

He’s on textured but he slipped when I put him in a carrier and I forgot to put a towel down. The second they started sliding I threw in a towel but the damage seemed to already be done

What do you think @casportpony doing a hobble just to help he keep his leg in proper position for a while might help for a bit.
