[juelz1380]

my babies were just hatched on sunday and 3 of them are walking and 1 isnt.... the one that isnt is kinda scooting around and it looks like its leg gets caught on its wing.... ones that were hatched after him are walking and are fine... what do i do with him???? besides his leg he is fine....

Sounds like spladle leg where the leg just slides out and they can't use it. Is it both legs or just one?

It does sound like spraddle (splayed) leg. Here's a link for treating leg problems in chicks. You can fix it, but it needs to be done now.
