I had to assist a hatch today (day 30) external pip (big hole) started to zip clockwise, head under right wing and didn’t progress. Assisted hatch was without complication. Chick kicked free, but laid on side with one leg trembling very visibly. It has now been 5 hrs since hatch. Chick is drying out, is awake but unable to stand. Throws itself around trying to get its feet under itself but can’t. Legs don’t look splayed, but feet are curled up. Trembling has stopped, but I am unsure what if anything I should do?
