New chick is a bit wobbly. Chirping, but seems getting weaker?

We just hatched two chicks. Yay.

One is healthy and great. The other (the first one to hatch) is wobbly. He walks and then kind of falls. He chirps all the time. I'd like to save this little baby, but unsure what to do. Chick was hatched on Christmas day. I'm not sure what information you need.

Help!

It’s normal for chicks to chirp and peep and cheep a LOT. Maybe check his foot and leg to see if he has a cut or something but sometimes new chicks are just learning to walk and stumble
 
Offer SaveAChick or electrolytes with vitamins in case of a vitamin deficiency affecting the legs. Is the chick warm enough or too warm? Is it drinking and eating? Google chicken chairs and slings, which can be helpful to get a chick upright when there is a problem walking. Set food and water in front of the chick chair, and take it out often to move and stretch on it’s own.
