If they aren't flying yet,you can carefully tie it's legs close together and put it back in the nest for a few days and this will usually correct the problem.Usually caused by having slippery base in the nestbowl.Leave 1/2' to an inch between the legs when you tie them.

Try Kelly's advice! This method has worked for me. Tie the legs and put it back in the nest for a few days. Make sure there is enough nesting material in the bowl that it doesn't slip and slide!

I had this happen to me twice...splayed legs. I took the advise given.... Until I learned to use "sand" in the nest bowel, about 1-2 inches. It gives the youngsters a better footing and also prevents against bacteria, it can't live in sand.
