Weak Baby chick help please

[Wyorp Rock]

I'm very sorry
Sometimes they fail to thrive, no matter what we try to do. It's sad, but does happen when we hatch chicks.

The best you can do is keep her warm, see if she will take any fluids. If you feel like she is suffering, then it's an act of kindness to put her out of her misery.

This is so heartbreaking I just lost a baby chick when it hatched and it died my hands and it was just heartbreaking, I really want this chick to survive and I wanna do everything in my power to save it

I’m sorry about everything you are going through right now, and I understand the feeling to want to do everything you can to save it. But unfortunately that is a bit of a selfish act sometimes. Like @Wyorp Rock said, putting it out of its misery might be the best option, instead of wanting it to live. That seems cruel and twisted but really, it’s hard to know what it’s feeling. It might be in serious pain.

YouTube how to make a splint for a chick. Pictures of the leg would help.

How warm are you keeping the chick?
I agree, photos of the legs will be helpful. In your other photos, I see no splay or spraddle leg.

Is the chick able to lay down at all? Were you able to get any fluids into her?

Yes I got some electrolyte solution for it to drink by itself and it lays down like this and it opens it’s little beak and it’s like swallowing , but has nothing inside

With the water I gave it , it’s active and going now but it’s just it’s leg and when it’s laying down it opens its beak and it’s like if it’s swallowing or drinking something

Just curious if it was a late hatching chick. I just had 2 late hatchers that had curled toes. They weren't in very good shape for about 2 days. Slow, lethargic, wobbly. Falling onto their backs, and having trouble righting themselves. They seem to be better now, so I'm hoping your chick will come around similarly.
