First time hatching experiencing difficulties!

Just got caught up! She looks great! Amazing job! CluckNDoodle gave you eggcelent advice too! Great job guys! So happy for you! I definitely think she needs a friend though...
 
How about this one?

Aww, yes I can see it! Baby Coco does appear to be walking a bit stiff which isn't entirely unexpected with being in the egg longer. Are the toes curled at all or any swelling in the leg or hock joint? Also, just to be sure, the heat lamp only over one side of the brooder right?

Yes! I just adjusted to be sure and moved food and water to the cooler side. (90°)

Thank you! Considering I have no clue what I’m doing it means a lot! 🥰

Food, water, warmth, and love, you've got it covered. ;) By the way, a lot of people give their singleton chicks a stuffed animal to cuddle with if you happen to have one that you don't mind tossing after the fact (because it might get icky).
