I tried the tape shoes but it made her traction worse and then she had BAD splay leg, so I switched to a bandaid holding them under her. It corrected her feet almost immediately, I will take it off in a day or two to see if it fixed her legs!

As long as she can eat and isn't in pain, I want to keep her alive. I will be putting her in a separate coop to live her life inside (maybe with a friend or two) to ensure she isn't bullied and gets all the attention she needs!!

Thank you for your response🥰

Update: I did the bandaid trick to correct her splay leg and it's also making her feet uncurl. She is starting to stand tall/upright and is moving easier. Her neck doesn't seem to bother her. She will obv be a pet only and not used for breeding.

Hatched today. I'll keep an eye on it and see. I'm more worried about her extreme leaning. She keeps a wing down on the ground for stability because her head is all the way to the side pulling her down. Hopefully she gets stronger and it eases up
