Sick 2 day old baby... Help

[Amber Lu]

Baby got stuck behind the brooder plate. She hatched about 48hrs ago. I don't know if this is related. She was lethargic and unable to stand. I got a bit of chick boost into her, and she has been warming on my chest for the last hour. She has perked up, but is still weak and having trouble standing up and walking.
Any idea what else i can do?

Looks like a joint issue.
Have you tried to place the legs in their proper position?
The sooner you treat it the better. Out of position for any length of time sometimes can't be corrected.

I have. I am leaning toward it being vitamins. About 20 minutes after the chick boost, she was chirping more and less lethargic. She is able to stand and walk, but just very wobbly.

This was about half an hour after the electrolytes

Oh no! I hope your baby feels better soon! I’m of no help I’m not good with chickens. Good luck!

If it is able to walk, it may very well be out of the woods.
It is when they can't stand that I don't hold out much hope.
I'm not very familiar with chick boost. Seems like a good product.
Something similar I believe in is poultry Nutri-Drench. In addition to importan vitamins and minerals, it has the essential amino acids of lysine and methionine in a molasses and glycol base which provides both energy and allows it to be immediately absorbed into the bloodstream, so it doesn't need to be digested. I give that to all new chicks.
It is likely that getting trapped caused the problem.
