absolutely cannot walk. She slides around on her belly with her legs out from her sides. I've heard of bowleggedness but this is kinda the opposite. She can't get at her food, and is getting weak.
Estimated age is two or three days
 
Sounds like splayed leg. Have you tried taping her legs? You can use a bandaid to do it. If she's already three days old you need to do it quickly before the bones harden and it can't be fixed.
 
I guess it couldn't be fixed. She died today. I don't know if she couldn't get to the food or what. A completely healthy chick died too. One minute I look he's sleeping and the next he's dead. The only symptom I can see is watery eyes in about half of 27 chickens
