need help!!!!!!! crooked baby chick

[Pete fernBonnie]

hi so here's my story. i wanted to hatch eggs in a incubator for the first time so i borrow a incubator from a friend. i used egg cartons that were tilted using another egg cartons with eggs at the bottom to make it tilted. but anyway i have a small banty cochin hen who eggs are about the size of a half dollar, and i turned them everyday 3 times and i researched and they said that the banty eggs that were small will probably hatch early and i had 4 banty eggs and 5 standard sized eggs. on day 19 all of the standard chicks hatched and the small ones layed motionless, then on day 21 they all pop out of their eggs. i had one who had a little difficulty trying to pop out so i helped him enough where he could finish it himself. and after it hatched and puffed out i noticed it was lopsided. i looks like it is leaning on one side for support like there is something there. it has acted just like any other healthy chick would do but i am afraid that its back bone is crooked and if it is will that cause it pain. she or he is 1week old. i really need help i dont want it to be in pain and i not know it! please help!

You could try putting a hobble on it as it sounds like the chick has splay leg. Do a search on here and it will link you to different ways to "hobble" the chick. I don't know how well it works on a chick already a week old but it's worth a try!
