Help, peeled back air sac.. chicken still living.. idk what to do!!

What exactly is yolk water?! I've had problems getting these last two to eat or drink. They peck the food, but don't eat it. The water they don't even go near. I tried dipping beaks and everything.
 
I have actually been taking a laser pointer, my
Cats, and pointing it into the water bowl. They try to attack the dot and end up getting their beaks at least a little wet
 
The chick absorbs the yolk just before it hatches and can live off that for the first 2-3 days. Keep showing the chicks the food and water, but don't force them to eat or drink before they are ready.
 
yolk water is just yolk with a bit of warm water, kinda thick. it helps to get food to the brain fast then they can think about eating reg food. makes them strong and not stand there saggy headed peeping.
 
They're pretty strong, just not with walking. They just wobble like penguins and aren't standing up right. I tried using the bandaid technique earlier, but it didn't seem to make a difference.. Except make them fall around more, so i took it off. I called my vet, he said to bring them down.. But he's VERY expensive. Probably cause he's the only one near me who takes any form of a bird. Just breathing on their property seems to cost me money, so I'm trying to do everything I can before I go there. And killing them, isn't an option for me. I can't put something down or kill it because its not getting around "normally"
 
They definitely have a mild form of splay leg. I took them to the vet. I couldn't not do anything. The vet said not to splint it as long as they're still at least trying to get around
