Splayed Leg, How do you avoid it

[ZigZagMarquis]

How does one avoid having a chick / squab develop getting splayed leg in the first place? I take it by having lots of good "nest" bedding? In other words, if the chick is in a nest with lots of bedding... i.e. dry pine needles or tabacco stems..., they're likely not to have a problem? If being hand raised, they should be on lots of soft puffy towels or maybe some sore of bedding?
