Hi I have a chick who is still shaped like he is still in the egg

[Golden Brahma 64]

Does it look like this ?

I had to help him hatch this morning...no sign of veins...the membrane came off very easily, no blood...he even pooped in his shell.He is wobbly but he is curved like he is still in his egg. He has been out since 8:00am cheeping is this normal? Almost like his neck is stiff. Looking down position.

Sounds like you’ve got a disabled chick. Either put him out of his misery or cook him in a pot when he gets bigger, he’s not going to live long anyways.

Well Golden, and a very good morning it is!
I am happy to announce after a night of much needed rest the little crooked chick is up,drinking and eating! AND...he is straight up on his little perfect tootsies! Thank the powers that be!! Have a blessed day.
