9 hrs. isn't very much for rest and recuperation following a hatch. It is exhausting to a baby chick to force his way out of an egg. Newly hatched chicks sleep quite a bit.& often fall asleep on their feet and fall over, or fall asleep in a feed dish. Think about a new born foal- trying to get his legs under him they don't suddenly burst into a gallop. Time & sleep may be all he needs to right himself.
