I bought some blue australorp hatching eggs a few weeks back that were suppose to hatch on the 10th. The first one didn't hatch until the 11th and the second and third hatched yesterday and now the fourth today. The first two chicks that hatched are fine and in the brooder now. However the third and the fourth that hatched can't hold their head up straight and when they try their head goes all the way back and they flip over backwards and can't get back on their feet. Does anybody know what causes this? Will they grow out of it? Is there anything I can do to help them?
