Instead of posting multiple threads for your one chick, it’s best to keep things in one place so people can easily access all of the information on it.

That said, does it appear to be in serious pain? Do you really think that it will die soon? It might be time to consider humanely culling. It will ensure that the baby will no longer be in pain or injured for the rest of it’s life. It’s hard to even think about, but it might be the least selfish thing to do... there are plenty of members on here that can assist you through the process of doing this safely and humanely.

If you think that there is a chance for it to get better, you need to start serious care. Clean that bum up so that it can poop. Run it under the sink with lukewarm water and try to massage it off. Dip it’s beak into water with sugar, electrolytes, nutri-drench or something like that. Try getting some food into it. Moistened food with cooked egg yolk or some yogurt perhaps. Keep it warm, you might consider putting in a stuffy for comfort, it’s hard to be sick, stressed and separated all at once. For its leg, maybe try creating a splint? YouTube how to do it, I believe it involves a straw and a elastic band...

I really want to give it a chance when it hatched it was all clenched up and couldn’t move and had it’s little legs on top of its head and it couldn’t even stand but now it’s standing but it’s little leg it’s limping and I just wanna do everything in power to save it ,
 
I understand the feeling to want to do everything you can to save it but unfortunately the best way to save it is to let it go. Putting it out of its misery might be the best option, instead of wanting it to live. That seems cruel and twisted but really, it’s hard to know what it’s feeling. It might be in serious pain.

In the meantime, try the things I mentioned above and monitor it.
