I had 18 out of 19 eggs hatch without issue but one was delayed by probably 24 hours. Maybe more. When we did help it out of the shell I realized why. I think it was malpositioned with one leg behind instead of forward where it couldn’t push to crack the shell. It seems like it is weak on its whole right side and still cannot hold its head up well. I’ve left it in the incubator and just tried to hold it in the correct position to walk but unless I hold its head up it cannot stay that way.
I just don’t know if it is even possible to rehabilitate this chick. And I’m not sure how to humanely put it down. All the other chicks are healthy and strong.
I assisted the hatch yesterday morning. The chick is still trying. It still chirps and is trying to get around.
im really conflicted. I can post a video if it would help.
thanks.
