One of my chickies has pasty butt. I was trying to clean him off and he jumped/fell from my hands down to the tile. He was acting funky for a bit and leaning against the brooder wall. He is now eating, drinking, pooping but still a little weird. Is he going to be okay??

He is also 3 days old if that helps!
 
How far was the fall? I actually had the exact scenario a couple weeks ago, but my chick only fell about two feet. She’s fine now of course, and I’m sure yours will be too, if it’s already acting normal again.
Maybe about 4 feet 🫣😬 I was standing to walk her back to the brooder, and she got startled. I did break her fall a little, but it was pretty high
