help, my chick hatched but can't stand up

[Rosalinda]

I have a chick that hatched yesterday but it can't stand up. He just pushes himself around. In the past if I have chicks that hatch w problems they seem to get stronger and get better but this one is still the same (not weaker because I give him crushed food and water). Do you guys think he will make it and he's legs will get stronger so he can stand up?

I don't know, but I'll give you a bump.

Some of these things can be vitamin issues, but they can also be from humidity. Give the little guy a chance, feed it well and go from there. Good luck!
