My son got into our baby chicks they r about 2-3 wks old! He got a hold of one and squeezed it a bit to hard!! Now the baby is breathing fast and won't really moved to much I've got it in my arms keeping it warm... What should I do?????
 
That happens all the time to me, my little neighbor doesn't know her own strength! So most of the time they live, I know that sounds cruel. Try to keep it calm and quiet and look it over slowly. Does it seem broken anywhere? If not and if everything is internally good then she should perk back up in around twenty thirty minutes. Does it have siblings to be with in the brooder? That also helps them to calm down.
 
It can move.... Just breathing a bit hard and fast ATM it's neck seems fine and wings... Just not moving its legs???

Okay so lay him on his back and slowly flex his legs, if they move normal then they are not broken and he is just over scared. I wouldn't cull yet until you know if he is okay.
