'''Drunken sailor' seems to be the correct term regarding newly hatched chicks...resting and staggering.. My first chick was by its self the first 12 hours. I would shine a flashlight in the incubators windows he would follow the light around staggering and falling over the other eggs
.. I think he was lonely

He's still not walking or standing. Just laying kicking legs and head when I put the light in the incubator. Even though its only been bout 8-9 hours out the shell I don't believe he will be strong enough to survive. I'm gonna leave him alone and hope he gains strength

try and keep him on his belly, good luck!

He is still alive and kicking. No progress tho. Won't stand up, tried to put him on his stomach but he won't have it..I put a lil food in there but hasn't touched it. Going on 24hrs out of shell.

I think one of his legs is broke. He has no strength in it. Any advice. Hes not eating. What to do

You can try this. Put a small cup with a piece of paper towel in it in the incubator with the chick in it. The sides of the cup will support him and force his legs under him until he can stand on his own. Posting a photo of the chicks legs may help identify what is wrong if you can do that.
