Newly hatched chick can't stand upright

[SilverBirds]

Did that, I just put the cloth loosely around her, should I tighten it a bit?

You're just trying to make it where she won't flip herself onto her back until morning. If you thing it needs to be a little tighter to prevent that then go for it. Just make sure she's not going to suffocate or squish her.

Ill probably have to keep her in there till evening, in my timezone it's almost 5 rn and I'll be going to school around 7 so I don't think that's enough time to do something.

Do you have anyone at your house that could check on her for you while you're gone?

I'll probably tell my mom to check her time from time. I think she'll be home all day

She looks like this now, she peeps time to time so I think she'll be alright for the 2 hours

One thing I also want to ask is when to move him into a brooder, want to give him some sugar water but him being in an incubator doesn't help
Edit:I'm pretty sure he has twisted neck as he keeps looking up

Once he's fluffed up he can be moved to the brooder. Probably could be moved now. Could you post some more pictures of its head?

Update just came home and he's doing much better. His head isnt tilted up all the time now and he is able to stand and walk without major problems, I will still add a little vitamin E to feed just in case
