My little just hatched (less than 24 hours old) Bielefelder female was upside down in her brooder. I picked her up and she was throwing her head back with eyes shut. I gave her some sav-a-chick vitamin/electrolyte (a little stronger dose than is in their waterer), but she is not doing well. Ideas?
Eta: i also noticed a little of this behavior soon after hatch, but she seemed to pop out of it with water and food.
 
I doubt this has anything to do with it, but the shipment from which her egg came was badly damaged... neurological??
