Hands on hatching and help

One of my chicks is really quiet! Does nothing but sleep and if I put my hand in all the others run around in a frenzy but this one just stands there even if I go to pick it up. Is it ok? It doesn't try to wriggle free when I pick it up either I'm a little bit worried

I would be a little worried too.
 
Hey guys the ducklings with the fluid in the air cells are still thriving for now. Still no clue why or what to do.. Any help would be much appreciated. They are due to hatch in about a week. I don't want them to drowned..
 
Yeah they have some intervits in their water. I came in today and it was calling me which is a good sign it's the first time I've heard it since it hatched. This one lost some blood during hatching and also hatched with a open navel so it didn't have a great start

It will probably just take a min to catch up with the others. I've noticed the weak hatchers usually catch up within a week or so. They just need that little extra TLC. :)
 
And they say the worry is over after hatching lol. With your aircells couldn't you make a tiny hole and drain them somehow? That would worry the hell out of me

I'm not sure. I've only made holes like that after they internally pip. Don't know if I could do that before without causing issues. Thats why I keep asking here lol. Hoping someone more experienced can help. This is the first time I've had this happen...

That could very well make a weak chick starting out. Glad to hear she's getting peppy.
