Yeah you probably need to splint it but I am not sure how as I have never done it but there are instructions on BYC. You will have to look as I can;t remember where I saw it.

Chicks take a longtime - one of mine didn;t even move for a good 12 hrs.

Give it a soft toy - it works great. My two chicks still have their "mummy Duck toy" now and they are close on 9 weeks old!
