This chick was born last night, we had to help it out of the shell. I left it in the incubator until this morning and has splayed leg and curled toes and couldn't walk. I have hobbled it for the splay leg and band aid on both feet for the toes. It just falls over. Any suggestions?? It's away...

I'm pretty sure I know the answer as to what the buff silkie is but just want to confirm and see what your thought is on the white silkie and the polish chicks. They are all 6 weeks old
