Make sure you have some quick energy source in their drinking water. You can use an electrolyte solution or add some brown sugar for a quick energy burst. Some can arrive with low blood sugar, and they need a quick boost to get going.

If it cannot stand after a recovery period it may have something wrong with its legs or hips unfortunately.

I would keep her near by if you can for a few days and just keep her upright, or up right her if she tips over. It will help her legs and make it so she grow better. A chick that is always left alone on it's back kicking will not make it. They give up.

Also give it sips of egg yolk.
