Has the chick ever been able to stand or walk? Was it hatched at home? Are the legs splayed, or does the chick seem to have a neurological problem? I would try giving chick vitamins including riboflavin. I doubt that it needs antibiotics, but you can use your own mind to decide.

I have had newly hatched chicks who could never stand due to brain damage or other problems, causing them to turn over backwards or be too weak to stand. I try electrolytes with vitamins and a chick chair or cup to learn to stand, but if they don’t stand for a couple of days, I usually put them down.

Can you post a picture of the chick. I'd like to see the legs and feet.
