The booties don't seem to be helping the poor baby is having a lot of trouble & is constantly ending up on its back. I was gonna try to give it a chance at making it through since I did the booties do you think it might come through this or should I just cull it. Also since ive been fussing over this 1 all day I didn't notice 1 of the other babies has a weak foot/leg is it better to cull that one or is there something that can be done about that. I wish I could get pics to load on here. This is the most babies ive had hatch in a batch kindof overwhelmed with keeping track of any problemed ones.

Some people make slings for those goofy chicks that fall over, I've never done it myself but you might search the forums or post your question in the emergency section. Good luck!

Without photos it's hard to help, but if you saw the photos earlier of chicks in a cup or small plant pot, give that a try. Keeping them supported upright will give them an opportunity to strengthen their legs. If no improvement within a day, or by the time they are three days old, the odds of a successful cure go down.

Are you sure its a leg problem and not a thiamine issue? Does it look like its star gazing?
