How to fix splayed leg? Help!

I had a gamefowl egg hatch out today. Thing is, I just noticed he has splayed leg. How can I help him?

Have you tried using a band aid to hobble it?

I used medical gauze. Like the one for bloodwork. Just unsure how long it’ll take to heal.

Good news! His splayed leg healed up! Bad news, he has something attached to his butt that is really dry. It’s been there since he was born. He’s two days old today. Not sure what to do about it (see first pic)

I think you should just leave it there, don't tug on it. It should fall off. Just make sure its not poopy butt or something. I'm glad the splayed leg is better!!

It looks like a drying navel, so I would leave it alone.
