I’m Normal or no for a chick that just hatched

[LookingForSilkies]

We just hatched chicks and one chick seems to want to lay on its back and it’s very wobbly. We attempted to help it by putting it in a little container with some paper Towl so it can sit normal but it’s very wobbly. What’s wrong with her? Is it normal or should we be concerned? Fixable?

It's never had legs before, give it time.
maybe chick vitamins. Or you can five warm water with egg yolk and sugar

Looks like Wry Neck based on the picture.

I agree.. that's "star gazing" from a deficiency in the egg.. vitamin supplementation often helps.

I hold the chick in my hand with beak facing the bend in my forefinger and drip directly below the nostrils.. the chick usually swallows as it rolls around into the beak.. using the bend in my forefinger also to help catch and direct the drop and beak together. I have never aspirated a chick this way.. and had success using Poultry Nutri Drench if you're in the US.

Thank you! She’s doing much better. I was only concerned because she was the only chick doing this out of all of them. Thanks for the help!
