Rejected weak day old!

Yes, I believe it's a mix of the mom who has hatched them or her sister, they are buff orpingtons, and dad is a lavender Orpington. I also have two barred rock, 2 Australorp, and 2 sex link. These babies have the beige around face and dark grey bodies, super cute!
Is it normal for mom to not be able to walk? Her legs are stretched out to her sides, and she has not stood up in my presence.
Thank you!

It's hard to see, as her legs blend into the bedding, but her right leg is out.

She's still in setting mode. She will stay that way for a bit. It's the position they take to keep their chicks warm.

I remember our hen had a very large BM after her hatching was done...I figured she must have been waiting, not wanting to get up until the hatching was over with. I fed her extra goodies, like scrambled eggs, to boost her strength. Setting for so long took a lot out of her. Good luck!
