The EMERGENCY Thread!!!

New emergency!
Just received a wyandotte chick in the mail.
It is the tiniest chick of the 6 and the rest have found the food and water.
I am wondering if this chick is barely hatched. Very tiny, won't open eyes for very long, keeps sleeping, feet seem messed up and it keeps tipping over backwards. That being said it has a healthy set of lungs and seems very content when I hold it in my hands but screams otherwise. I have been giving it a sugar and electrolyte mix every 10 mins by dipping its beak in the mixture. Included 2 pics. Is this chick possible to save?
 
Here are the pics
