It had a problem getting out of its egg, its got a little bit of a walking problem with its feet and I can’t tell if its abdomen is normal or not for a new hatch.

Not sure! But if I reply maybe it will boost this for someone to come across and actually tell you an answer :)
 
Did they hatch late because of the trouble? I've noticed sometimes chicks get a little wonky sometimes if they take too long to get out, I think because they continue to grow in the confining space of their egg. Every time it's happened for me they straightened out on their own, but it wouldn't hurt to give them a little extra TLC
 
I do not believe this is mushy chick.

Did you take it out of the egg shell?
 
Yes, I had to, it was awful, the membrane dried to half its body and it couldn’t move in the egg. I thought it was going to die right then and there
How is it doing right now?

Its walking better and seems okay, just worried it was mushy and it would kill my other chicks. I paid a pretty high price for the eggs.
