hello, i need advice on how best to help 1 of the chicks that hatched over the weekend,  i had 4 splash/blue couchin eggs, 1 was clear, 1 died in shell, 2 hatched and both had problems with their legs is this normal for that breed, they both was left in the inci for about 12 hours, 1 of the chicks i have put a plaster on the legs and is walking normal and the other is still limping (he/she wou'nt put full waight on the leg)i have tryed the plaster on the ankels and i have now tryed putting a band on the tops of the legs (not a plaster i found a cable tie thing you use on the bin bags)... with which he can stand but wount put waight on it as of yet, any advice is warmly welcomed, im hoping it doesnt have to be culled, he is eating and drinking as he can limp over to them...

the leg could be dislocated so may need popping back into it's socket.
