Today I went out to feed my Wyandottes and one hen was just standing there and closing her eyes and trying to go to sleep it looked like and when i put in the feed she just stood there and didn't act like she was hungry. Before i got her out she took a sip of water. she is a little over a year...
Looks to me like a silver laced wyandotte but I'm not a chicken expert. Sorry just noted the comb and wyandottes don't have combs at least that's what I've been told, but also they do throw combs sometimes.
I was hoping it was something they can overcome with no ill effects. I did have one other one like this and he got better but it took about a month or so, he just held his head back when he drank. And I hoping its not hereditary, but if it is I won't breed. I've never seen anything about this...

CHICK 2 :Other chick tilts its head almost over its back and falls backwards, don't want to lose these 2 chicks they are...
None have zipped by themselves. I left them in since yesterday and i figured today they needed help. The 2 that have peeped I'll leave til in the morning then decide weather they need help also but hopefully not.

I am having to hatch chicks because they are dry inside I would rather not do this can I spray them with a squirt bottle since eggs are porous? I have added water but some of it leaked out I don't think there is much I can do. Any help appreciated...
