Advice needed please

One of my chicks doesnt seem able to properly stand up. Its legs are not splayed so I dont think its spraddle leg, it seems to scoot about but it wont stand up fully. It sways backwards on its knees at times.

It looks like its ankles (?) Dont bend properly. Its eating drinking and moving around, just wont stand up properly like the others.
No swelling.
It was positioned wrong in the egg and required assistance so perhaps that's a factor?

Do you have any poultry vitamins or b-complex?
I would try getting give her a few drops of vitamins 2 times a day.

How long has it been since hatch? She may improve over the course of a few days, hard to tell a lot of times with chicks.

No I've never kept poultry vitamins in the past so dont have any
I'm hoping shes just taking time to strengthen up but I worry

Hopefully she'll improve. Personally, I would get some B-Complex and give her 1/4 tablet a day. You can crush it up and add it to her feed or dissolve it in a little water and syringe drops into her.

Is she able to drink/eat at all?

Yes shes eating and drinking. Watching her this afternoon shes running around, just slightly squatting whilst doing so.

It should strengthen up once she/he gotten several days under its belt. Ideally some poultry/chicks vitamins added to water would be great if you could get some. You could add a dish of Gatorade if you have some.

We don't have Gatorade here but I'll go to the agricultural store tommorow and look for vitamins.
Any idea what may of caused the issue? Could it be as simple as her dodgy hatching position?
Thanks x

Hard to know the cause of issues in chicks - hatch position, parent stock nutrition, genetic or developmental issues, etc. would be a few things to look at.
