Hi Experts! Can anyone help????

I am hatching today and have a sweet pekin bantam , who is very wobbly - not spraddle leg.

She leans her head backwards al the time, and then falls on her back doing it.

Anyone got any ideas? As i hate to give up on her!
 
I think it might be too early to worry yet. Some chicks fall asleep doing the oddest things.

You could try supplementing their water with Poly-vi-sol (baby vitamins), but make sure you get the NON-IRON one. A couple of drops in the water should do it.

Another trick you could try is feeding them scrambled eggs.

Good luck!
