    New born baby chicks on her back

    Hey! I just hatched a few Buff Orpington. All doing great but one. She cannot stay on her belly or stand on her legs. She lays on her back with her legs up. What can I do to help her? She is alone in an incubator and warm, and I gave her a bit of water. Thank you!
