Hello

I have a newly hatched chick that falls over. Mostly backwards. I taped its legs but it doesn’t really have the split leg issue. I’ve never had this.
It basically sits on its butt.
Any suggestions!
See video
Sorry. Can’t seem to upload a video. Just a photo. Don’t know why

How is your chick doing? Have you tried giving it some vit b complex? 1/4 tablet disolved into water and dripped directly into beak. You could also try poultry cell the same way. Just make sure what you give have b1 and b2.
 
I actually had 2 chicks doing the same. I gave them poultry cell mixed with some yolk and one is still going along and improving somewhat. The other I culled. It just laid there panting with it's eyes closed. I couldn't let it go on. It was struggling too much.
