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, 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
