Hi
I have just had a chick hatch this morning sadly 1 out of 4.

What I was wandering is..This new chick isn't walking it's just pulling itself along....what should I do?
 


They often appear to be crawling at first..by tomorrow it should be a bit more. May still be doing the belly walk, but won't be long until it's up on it's legs.
 
Oh ok thanks Cynthia. ..It had me worried...its my first time incubating eggs

Newly hatched chicks often need awhile to find their feet, so to speak. Hope your little will be o.k. If you only have the one, it may be a good idea to find some more chicks of the same age, or close to, for it to grow up with. Chickens are social creatures that needs interaction with their own kind.
 
Thankyou Sumi
