I need some advice and help! I've hatched some little baby chicks and the 3rd one that hatched came out of his egg and he wasn't moving much besides his feet shaking a lot. After the rest hatched, I took them out and put them in the brooder. The one chick still wasn't moving much and was laying on his side. I kept trying to get him on his feet and he could a little but if anyone bumped him or anything he would fall on his back or side. I thought it was something with his foot but I noticed that his one wing was drooping to the side he'd fall on... Can anyone help me figure out how to help him? I tried taking a band-aid and kind of taping his wing in place but he didn't like it and it didn't stay on. It helped a little in the beginning but got kind of dry and didn't stick. He falls over and his siblings lay on him and hes in the direct light the whole time and doesn't know how to get up and every time I pick him up I bring him to the water because he must be very thirsty. How can I Help and what might be going on? Here's a picture... Hes the one on his side by the water dish on the right. He was sleeping there so I'll have to update when I get the chance to later of a picture of him on his side.
