Hello,
I just hatched my first ever chick yesterday at 1:00. I unfortunatly had to help it a little because my humidity was not ideal and the membrane was kind of stuck to it. At first he was all chirpy and jumping around but after a few hours he just laid there motionless but breathing at least. He has the odd spasm in which he jerks around a bit but does not really stand on his own that much. Is this normal because he isn't even 24 hrs old? If he continues like that when should I get worried and what can I do to help, if anything?
Thanking in advance all people who reply
