My black cochin bantam hatched her eggs out today and one had its brain out of its head. It's chirping and moving fine. I don't think it will make it though. Should I cull it or let it pass on it own?
I will have to get pictures. I had one but deleted it.
 
Oh my! I've never seen that before. I hope someone here with experience will have some information for you. Hoping for the best!

I mean its wobbling around and chirping. I will check in the morning. I have already dug a whole for it but I can't just kill it. I'm kinda attached to it now since it has been going through so much on the first 8 hours its been hatched.
 
It's ok. It got out of the nest and got into the water and drownd. I just buried it.
