Hi guys! Just wanted to let you know that the little chick is now 4 days old and he is up and mobile! He can stand, walk and even run and looks normal! Yay!! :woot Thanks for the help and calming my nerves lol :)

Update... Today he actually stood up by himself for almost a minute. he still can't walk normal, but he is definitely making progress.

I dont think he was pecking hard enough to really hurt him, But the baby lying down didnt like it and kept trying to scoot away...I have never incubated chicks before so I am new to this and didnt know they peck each other straight out of the shell lol.. I have however, hatched some from Broody...

I just moved the chick that is doing good in the brooder by itself, I left him in the bator until he was fluffy. I think I will move the chick that has issues in a separate area at least...

Thanks for your reply, It has been 24 hours since he was born and he is still the same :(
