HELP! not moving chick! what do I do?

[PickChick]

...sorry for your loss, we had a chick hatch successfully but his legs were not moving.
he passed away 3 weeks later...

I have another question though, we want to put our broody mom in our big aluminum tin, that sits inside of the garage. Since we want her to raise the chick and its way to cold outside for that right now. I have made a nest for her in the tank and she seems to like it. we put here there yesterday and shes settled in.
our garage is 45 degrees F.
If we put a heat lamp directing to the left side and the mom on the right so it wont be too hot for her, will the chick survive? (we are obviously going to put food and water and all the other thing chicks need in a tank
Thank You!

Mom will keep the chick warm. No need for a heat lamp

She doesn't need to be in the garage in a tub and she and her chicks do not need a heat lamp. Where was she setting the eggs?
If your coop is large enough, I'd just set her up in a corner with thick dry bedding and her chicks and leave her be to raise them.
She just needs chick starter to eat and feed her chicks and a chick-safe water source.
This picture was taken on a morning when snow was on the ground outside. This hen has 8 chicks under her.

Wow really? we dont have snow, i live in California.
I'm just worried that the mother wont accept it and kill it...
the mother hen is very mean to the other hens in her flock...

I tried a broody and hated it. They broke the eggs. I had 3 in the same coop. There was my problem. But I didnt know. I thought it was fine. I came out one night and had 1 chick hatch. Came out the next day and his head was pecked open by another broody. Usually the mother won't kill her chicks though.

In other words, it's not really cold at all.
It is a very good thing that she's mean to all the other hens in the flock. That means she's being very protective of her chicks. Wait until it's dusk tonight then slip the chick under her and it will do far, far better out there with her than it will be in the incubator or in a brooder in the garage.

Right there is your problem. You should only have one broody at a time. Unless you have completely separate setups in order for them to brood away from each other, broodies will fight over eggs, fight over chicks, break eggs, and sometimes kill chicks.
