Help does my chick need to be culled

[Chicken_Trainer2007]

he Piped on the side over the egg, all of the other chicks of his breed hatched two days before him. I fed candle his egg he was moving but still had so much vains and twelve hours later he didn’t break the shell but was in the right spot so I helped him. When he was out his head was wobbly and he kept flipping on his back so I rolled up a pillow case to make him stay upright.
Now it’s time he morning and he’s still flipping and I’m thinking I’ll have to put him down

Try giving it some poultry cell or similar poultry vitamins. You can also try sugar water or egg yolk

I would give the little fella a chance to live. You may have to feed him liquid nourishment only, via eyedropper, for the first couple of days, before he is ready to try crumbles and water. Isolate him from the other peeps, so they don't bully him in his weak state. Make sure he is nice and warm. He needs an ambient temperature of about 95 degrees or a bit less for the first week and while his siblings may be tough enough to tolerate cooler temperatures, he needs all the help he can get. He will live, or he won't, but his chances are better if you are helping. He (or she) might grow up to be your special chicken, you never know.

<EDIT> his legs or hip bones might not be fully developed, which would explain his preference to be on his back. If he won't sit up after a few days then you may have to cull, yeah.

I'd put him back in the incubator, set to 95F, for 12 to 24 hours. Humidity doesn't matter, but lower is fine. Have a rubber shelf liner mat or something in there so he doesn't slip around. He doesn't need food/water for the first 72 hours.

I'd then scramble a raw egg yolk with a couple of drops of Poultry Cell or Nutri-Drench in it and using an eye dropper, put a drop to the side of his beak. After he drinks that, let hem rest a few seconds, then give him another. Keep trying until he's had about 5 or more drops.

He should be okay. If his legs end up being splayed, you can bind them with strip made from a bandaid or VetWrap.

A thing I like doing is opening the bad eggs to see why they may have passed away, and the two that were his biological siblings did have some nasty deformities, maybe the pair I got are related? The rest of his siblings are great in all the past clutches this year. Also it could be the incubator that caused this

Silkies are known to often have brain issues because of their vaulted skull. If his parents carry lethal genes, it is better to not let them reproduce.

The pair I got look like they are really nicely bred and then the two hens I got from a zoo I don’t really know much about thoses silkies
