Chicks usually don't LIKE being on their backs, and it's probably scary for them

Entry #3 he had pipped on the wrong end and was partially shrink wrapped so I had to almost fully hatch him! He’s very tired now

He actually is still alive but I’ll probably have to cull him thoughhe just lays there on his back and struggles and peeps every once in awhile

If he is struggling, culling is the best thing for him.

I don’t really know how to cull and I definitely don’t want him to suffer!

Do you have a little Tupperware dish that you would line with paper towels or rags? This is what I do when I have chicks or ducklings that can't stay upright. Keeping them in the little dish until they get stronger seems to help.
