So, basically I just got fertilized eggs from my neighbor next door because he has a rooster. I've had them under my broody hen but took them to my incubater because she kept moving off them, but I caught her before anything serioud happened.

3 days ago my first chick hatched and 2 days ago my second and third chick hatched. The one that has a problem was hatching in the egg for 27 hours, which is above average. When it hatched, I imediatly noticed that something was wrong with its neck. I figured out it had wry neck so I started the next day feeding it oral Vitamin E. I noticed improvment, but the chicks leg is not looking so good and is making it hard to walk. It can sort of eat and sort of drink, but it still has trouble. I really don't know how to help it, I've been feeding it Vitamin E for 2 days and it leg is starting to look worse. There are no injuries on the leg except for a tiny red mark which I don't think has anything to do with why its leg isn't working.

If you know what is wrong, please help! If I can't figure out how to help my chick I might have to put it out of its misery, or the chick might die. Until I find out what's wrong or if I can help I will be trying my best to keep it alive and hopefully it will get better.
