Newly hatched chick cant stand HELP!!!!

Well nothing ive done has helped the lil guy idk what else to do . Ive heard so many sucess stories with using the band aid brace. For me i haven't seen any improvement actually seems worse if thats possible. Poor baby i hope its not im any pain ugh i hate this. He eats and drinks has a good appetite and scoots around to get where it wants but poor thing is it worth living like that i wish i could fix him .
 
You have to view him as a chick not a human. Animals don't get all worried about their future or what they look like. Sounds like he is doing well with eating and drinking and is able to get around - rather than letting all muscles atrophy. If he was in pain he would cry out and probably not even try to get around. Some folks put young chicks in a cup, that holds the legs in proper position and makes standing possible.

It's easier to do than trying to bandage feet. Lots of success stories with the cup method.
 
At this point bc he has been on his hocks for a few days now i dont think they even would be able to bend straight. I just worry about when he gets older the others picking on him , seems like to me i wont b able to put with the rest of my flock . So he would have to be my kids pet that stays in his own lil house on our porch away from my huge rooster thats in charge especially if it does turn out to b a cockerel. How does the cup thing work and how do i make it
