I have a polish peep problem. It seem the last two polish chicks to hatch both have problems with their feet. They turn in under their body like they were still in the shell. They seem weak and hobble on their hocks while flapping their wings to get around.
Anyone ever had this problem??? Any ideas what it could be???

PPP (Polish Peep Problem) for those not used to texting LOL
Maybe splinting with a bandaid would help?
Okay I had thought about that, but how would I do that? I know that sounds like a dumb question, but should I just spread the foot like it should normally be and then apply a bandaid??
do I straighten each toe with a bandaid and then apply another over the straight toes to form the foot as it should be???
I am a total idiot when it somes to these things. sorry!
