Hatched without a wing

Here is the one I think will work perfect.. I just did it with a dish cloth and storage container and placed her not totally under the heat lamp, but midway, since the cloth is furry enough... Cute to see her lille legs dangling below.. But at least she wont be on her side all night.. Than I can build her one with feeder/water caps 😆
Here is a good thread about chicken sling and chair designs that you can make:

As title explains, i hatched chicks yesterday from morning. This was my last hatch which I had to really help out of the shell, her foot was over her face in the egg, and missing a wing. As i see all my new babies fluff up and start to walk, this one just kept kicking and spinning in circles. She hasnt made her way to her feet. I soaked some feed in a 1/8 size serving spoon, and put it in front of her while holding her in a sitting position, she gobbled up half of it.
Any advice as to help her to her feet so she can get to water and feed without tipping over?
Or will she just figure it out on her own?

Sad.. that doesn't look normal. as compared to other chicks she's with. doesn’t that seem a bit odd. and you said she's missing a wing? definitely an abnormality.. I hope she can thrive... good luck..
