I have a little chick that I helped hatch. He was having some problems leaving the egg so I ended up helping him out. I made sure that the membrane had no blood, which showed that all the blood had returned back to the chick. Also, the yolk was completely absorbed into the abdomen of the chick. The problem is that he does not want to uncurl from a ball like position.
He can stretch out his neck, but doesn't stay with it outstretched. His legs are very strong but he has all his toes curled up. What is wrong with this chick and what can I do to help. Here are some pictures.
