Could be that or could be this chunky little one's weight is
pushing it down. To be on the safe side I would use vet
wrap in a strip about 1 inch wide x about 6 inches long with
one end cut for ties at the end. Secure the legs together
As high as you can get it using a figure eight sequence and
tie. I just did this with 2 blue quaker babys and left it
on for 2 full weeks. They learned to walk like a penguin
before it was over. Thank goodness they are okay.

Wishing you and baby well :-)

If you aren't handfeeding yet I certainly would so the
parents won't peck at the wrapping and/or baby.
