I have a chick that cannot walk and stand but still alive, it's a few days old he/she got crushed by it's mother due to a fight broke out and can no longer walk or stand, it constantly look up and cannot eat on it's own if I try to feed it he/she spits it out I'm planning on making a DIY incubator and put him/her there. I don't know what to do he might die idk!
P.S: not sick his/hers dropping or poop is okay I think.
 
Do you have a picture of the chick? Is it’s head turned upward as in wry neck? It sounds like the chick probably is going to die if it will not eat or drink. Does it move its legs or wings? It may have been had internal injuries. I would consider putting it down to keep it from suffering. Or at least make it comfortable as possible and keep it warm. Welcome to BYC, but sorry about your chick.

he can move his neck he maybe have wry neck he constantly moves it in odd angles, he still have legs movement and a little around of wing movement
 
He looks asleep or out of it in the pic. If he wakes up, and you can hold him upright, offer some sugar water or some electrolytes, SaveAChick, or warm gatorade. Dip his beak for half a second, then let him swallow each times. If he is not alert enough don’t do this. Wry neck treatment is to give human vitamin E 400 IU orally along with 1/4 tablet of B Complex tablet crushed in some whipped raw egg. This may not be possible for a poorly chick who is laying on it’s side.

Add the 1/4 tablet of b complex tablet in whipped raw egg?
When you mean raw like in the market or the ones that are layed?
 
Normally we put it into scrambled egg, but in the case of a little baby chick, I would put it into some raw egg. That gives some selenium which helps the vitamin E uptake. Or dissolve it in a spoonful of water. Farm eggs or store eggs, makes no difference.
 
Those it still need the incubator to have a proper resting place?
