Subject: baby chick cant walk, just flops around

hello my name is donna and i hatched baby cochins in a new incubator, i have eleven, but two had bad legs from the start. they are three weeks old and one only stands on the hocks, i have hobbled her and also put her in a poultry chair. she doesnt seem to be making much progress. the other one doesnt put weight on the bad leg and it has a slight twist at the ankle so the foot is held flat. that foot shakes a little also. i put a shoe on it and it manages to get it off most of the time. does anyone think that there is anymore that can be done to help either of these little ones walk. i cant bring myself to cull them. any advice would be appreciated.
