I would cull that chick asap! Sorry!

I am so sorry. I hate to say it but even I would cull him/her. Definitely cannot go with other chicks or the poor chick would be pecked to death. My chickens are well loved pets and one has a really wicked cross beak and would be dead if I didn't feed mash every day. She is fat and top of the pecking order due to her care. This problem though is beyond a special diet or care as the brain is too fragile.

I don't think she'll survive for even a few days, even if you separate her from the other chicks. The most humane thing would be to put her down. I'm really sorry, what a bummer.

I've never seen anything like that before...

I had 2 quail eggs that were sitting in the incubator for a whole day longer than any of the others. It didn't make any progress so I decided to crack it open. Tt had its brain sitting outside of its eye socket, is also didn't really have a top beak. It died after about 2 seconds.

I'd cull that chick, considering the complexity of a skull and how the brain is encapsulated perfectly within a moist environment maintained at the correct pressure.. There is no way to mimic that

Im sorry to say, the best option would be culling... Theres no chance for the poor baby to live like a real chicken, even if it was a house chicken. I agree with ssbs on the skull thing. Sorry.

What was the cull method where you buy some kind of car fuel and put both in a jar?
Will any other household liquid do the same to put it to sleep then kill it?

No no, it was the vapors which made it fall asleep then it died...

Get a can of starter fluid (ether) and soak a rag with it and put it and the chick into something you can shut tightly. You can get it at any auto store. Be sure you do this outside.
