My little baby chick can't walk!

It doesn't seem to have splay (as its decribed). I will try the tea cup idea, that sounds good! The other chicks are cuddling with him and laying on top of him, so that may help in more ways than one.

Thank you to all of you for your comments! I ended up putting a band-aid around it legs yesterday and put it in a small bowl. It was funny how the other chicks pushed the chick out and hoarded the bowl! They loved it! But anyways, with coaching it and everything, it is now standing on its own, pecking the pine shavings and walking around! So happy! We named it c-walk lol.

I have a baby with the same thing!! it hatched early hours this morning and not only is it not standing but its belly is a little swollen!! he does move the legs when being held but its just like they cant hold his body up!! I have also already cleaned his butt too!! it makes me sooo sad I don't know what to do!!
