[chickabator]

My BO that hatched this morning has something wrong with its neck Its head wants to go backword like it is looking up in the air and it keeps turnning its head from side to side whats wrong with it?

Could be something neurological, but without seeing it, it's hard to tell.

 

[chickabator]

it looks like its neck is broke

 

[Katy]

How long ago did it hatch? There are some that are pretty wobbly for awhile after hatch.

How about crookneck? There are posts here!

I know the picture isn't too good but I can't open the bator I have other eggs that have pipped

 

[chickabator]

it hatched about 2 hours ago what is crooked neck ? it looked normal when it hatched. Its little neck bone is sticking out twords the front it isn't through the skin or anything and no one has touched the chick it has been in bator the whole time it is still wet

 

[Cheryl]

can someone explain crooked neck, I've never seen it, only read about it?

 

[Katy]

I don't know what to tell you other than to just wait and see what happens.....especially since you've got other eggs working on hatching.

I'm with Katy...Leave the chick to rest in the bator and fluff up while the others are pipping and hatching...

Then when you take the whole hatch out of the bator ..check the chick over again...if it could be crooked neck...try the search button...type in crooked neck or start a new post and someone thats experienced with that can help ...
