Chick having a hard time walking

[LauraSBale]

the chick popped out this morning, and this afternoon, having a hard time walking, it keeps falling back on it butt and wobbling, and falling over.
it keeping its wings far out and its legs are far a part.

what could it be?
sorry the pics are not the best

I'd give it a drop of infant vitamins, make very sure it's not too hot, and hope that it just needs some more time to learn how.

Sprawled legs maybe? if so make splints out of tape. Works Great!

it has spraddled legs. splinting isn't easy on fuzzy legs.

there are many threads here Laura with ways to make hobbles. for me, i don't hobble. maybe they will be helpful to you.

thanks
everyone,

well i put the baby back under mom last night, it seemed to be doing better, well i think that was a mistake, now the baby is not doing so good, brought it back in house.

i will look up what to do if i can do any thing.

well i made the baby a hobble, and last night i took them off to redo them, let her walk a little on her own, left leg is doing a lot better but right still wants to go out, the band aid was a mess because of the feathers on the legs, so i used thin leather string, keeping her in a basket so she doesn't fall over.

she very black but in the pic she look brown

were keeping are fingers crossed

Keep up w/ the electrolytes and vitamin water. Shes a cutie in that basket.

I had one that wasn't Spraddle Legged, but had difficulty walking. She take a step or two then plop down, and when she walked she was really herky-jerky. I followed advice here to seperate her, give her vitamins & electrolytes, and egg yolk. She went on to develop a much more pronounced limp, and then...was fine! She was much smaller than the rest of the gang, and took longer to feather out, but is doing fine now. She just needed some extra TLC. Good luck!

sadly to say, the baby past in the night, she was fine the night before, and when i got up this morning, she had died. poor little thing,
