1 day old chick

[chickensgocluck3013]

hi,i just made my account because i was raising some eggs in a homemade incubator.I candled them and there were chicks in there. one of them hatched on November 1st,which was yesturday. i put her in a different box,which was tile.i gave her some water a few hours after she hatched and was fully dried.today i came down and she or he kept on falling on his or her wing. one wing is in proper place, but the other is a bit hanging.one of his or her leg is also a bit red. im very worried please tell me what i should do.

Can you post photos of your brooder and the chick?

A bit more information is needed - do you have flooring/bedding in the brooder to prevent slipping? And a heat source?

Tile box does not sound good for chicks. Too slippery. Pictures of your brooder would be good

Also do you have a vitamin and electrolyte supplement to give them? I agree tile is way too slippery at the very least put a towel or an old down if you have nothing else.

How are they doing?

sadly she died of early hatching but three others hatched and are doing well and have company! they all have a three day difference which is rlly cute because the first 2 are friends and they got scared by the third but now they are all fine. the third was shrink wrapped but i helped it
