Super lethargic, can't walk..etc
This is the same thing..to another one I had just semi helped before

And yes..they seem to not fluff out like others do..like a dry Matt fur..

Anyone know why ?

Giving vitamins, and hand watering..won't eat..will get some yogurt in her/ him later today

It's fully formed but all the toes are curled,so I tried splinting them

I had to help one two days ago...it had zipped 1/2 way and stopped. I waited almost 36 hours and I wish I'd done it sooner. Poor thing was SO stuck. One foot was up next to the beak and the beak couldn't hit the egg. Anyway, she's now almost fluffed out but still kind of matted on her head but she's making progress. The odd thing was she wouldn't sit down, just stood and watched everyone. I wasn't holding much hope for her but one of the chicks took to her right away and seems to have taught her to eat and drink and now she lays down and is one of the group.

This one had curled toes too but they uncurled within about 6 hours.

Hope your little one makes it. It would be interesting to hear why they don't fluff up like the others.
