Day old chick not eating!

he was the last to hatch but he only took around 10 minutes after the rest of the chicks
The very quick hatch can have it kinda stuck in the pushing and shoving mode for a while which will have it fall over and lose balance.
You can keep it restrained for a few hours bundling it up in a towel or settling it in a cozy sock with just the beak sticking out.

Grab the bundled up chick and gently let one drop of vitamin/electrolyte water or apple juice touch the front or side of the beak. Be very patient and gentle making sure to leave enough time in between the next try and next drop.
 
He may be getting used to life
Where did you get the chicks?
Check over his legs and feet for any abnormality
Can he still walk?
Can he hold his head up?
He has started to lay on his back and side he can't walk or doesn't want i don't know if I try to put him on his feet he pushes himself back what can I do?
