I must have switched brooder temperature when I deep cleaned it... I entered into incubating with the mistake of my brooder set to 101.5. This is the first hatch I had fail.
I'm finishing Day 19 and 25 eggs unhatched. 2 chicks hatched on Day 18, feet and legs looked great. Then first chick attacked the other as it cleared the egg and it sadly died. The attacker has been out of the incubator for 24 hrs, and can no longer stand without flipping on its back like a turtle.
It flipped momentarily on day 1 but now day 2 it can't walk before flipping. Is that likely neurological and needing to cull so it doesn't suffer? Rather than a nutritional situation? (It was eating until it turtled)
