New chick help.

How is he doing? My only survivor took a long time to get his "land legs." I would say about 12 hours. Now he runs and hops when he wants out to peck my eye lid. lol
 
I would leave him in the incubator. I have one who did the same thing. He had been pipped for almost the entire day, just in his egg blowing bubbles. I slowly helped him hatch and he was slow going for the first two days, now other than splayed legs, he's doing great. Don't worry, but I would keep him separate from the other chicks until he has his legs under him.
 
He's still not doing any good. Still crinkled to the left. Its been 2 days.
Don't know how to end it for him, but I imagine here soon he'll be getting hungry etc...
We try to dip his beak in water but I'm not sure if he's choking or swallowing or what.
It's almost like he's paralized or something on the left side.
It would really be best probably if he passed on.
Next time I will not get involved w/MN (mama nature)
Thanks
