Looks like splayed legs. I’ve had this happen only once and found something that helped:

I’ve done this before and it’s helped. I would wait to see what other ppl have to say too though

Can I ask what you see in that photo that leads you to believe splayed legs. Not challenging, just a newbie that is trying to learn?

Do you have any poultry vitamins?

Boil an egg and feed it the yolk mashed up. That'll give it a little boost.

Aww, poor little thing. What a shame that hatcheries mass produce baby chicks so much that they're puny. Poor sweet baby.

That picture is not mine. Found it online a while ago and thought it was a good idea. I shared it just to show her what I’ve done before
