I'm afraid she won't do well with the mom like this.

It will be better for you to be able to help her, I think, if you can keep a close eye on her for now.

Ok thanks. I have never had anything like this. First year of hatching chicks.

Ok so I watched her for a while. It seemed to not be as bad as I thought. When it is sitting still her neck goes back. While walking and moving she looks normal. She chased my cat around the brooder,(cat on outside of brooder). Chirping I feel it wanted to be with mama since it is the only egg she had so no other chicks from her, I do have some hatching Saturday (I hope). I will give her vitamins even though she is with her mama to help.

How many eggs did you start with for this hatch...the one this chick hatched from?

@Mvan42 are you going to try the Thiamine supplement?

I only had just the one egg. Because I had shipped eggs on the way. @Cyprus check out this pic. Today you would never know this little gal had any problems

I am amazed, when I put it back out with her it was walking fine but when it was sitting its neck went back then it would loose balance and flop around until it got its footing but now you would never know. I hope it’s a pallet... lol.
