Chick cannot get up...

[IggiMom]

Several of my BO eggs have hatched and they look good, except that one seems to be trying to get up and is flailing around. It is all dry and fluffy so it has been doing this for quite a while.

Is there anything I can do, or is it just going to die?

Give it water and time.

I had a favorelle chick that wouldn't stand up, he stayed on his back. I made it a point to hold him in my hand and tuck his little legs under him the right way, to "teach" him how to do it on his own. It took a few days to get him right, but he's still up and running now at 10 weeks. It will take a little doing, but I think you can help him!

Ok--I will try that. I thought of that. I waste just INCREDIBLE amounts of time in front of the computer. I might as well be holding a chick!
