So this chicken in particular has been hit before she hatched the incubator slipped out of my hand and broke the egg.
Thank god it was only day 21 and it i helped it hatch

Some eggs hatched and she got a good brother.. But still she was stuck in shrunken egg it shrinked on the chick.. Plus the bleeding from the hit i managed to manually hatch her and it was successful

Although she got out of the egg still her left leg was kinda stuck to her body.. So i tried to strait it.. Went well but she cant move normally like other chickens

I gave her sugar and water so what else?

I got 2 weeks old guinea chicks that are outside 40. c, can i put it with it?

How old is this chick? Has she been eating or drinking on her own? I would definitely NOT put her out with the 2 week old guineas, especially if she is not getting around well. I think she would be trampled by the bigger guineas for sure! Can she get her legs underneath her or walk at all? Can you get any pictures of the chick? I am wondering if she has spraddle/splayed legs. I will attach an article about it just in case your not familiar with it. If that is the problem, it needs to be treated quickly to have a successful outcome. The second article link discusses other leg and foot problems as well FYI.
