Help please. I only had one chic out of 10 to hatch in my incubator yesterday evening. This morning it's still not standing. It's laying on its side like in a fetal position and all it can do is turn in circles when it wants to move.
 
Hello. Could you post some pictures of the chick? What day of incubation are they on? What is the temperature and humidity at?

Hello, HoneyBeeHomestead. I posted two pictures. I hope this helps
Is she alert? If she is, I would take her out of the incubator and give her chick/poultry vitamins mixed in her water. It might be a deficiency. You could also offer raw egg yolk.
A lot of incubator thermometers are very inaccurate. Do you have an extra you could stick in the incubator to see if 38 c is correct?
What day of incubation are they on?
Have you candled any of the eggs that haven't hatched?

She's very alert. I took her out of the incubator a few hours ago and I went to TSC and got Peewee some nutri drench and mixed it with water and put it on a q-tip and touched it to her beak. Peewee liked it and he or she seems a little better
