please any advice

Hi all
I hatched a few chicks and theres a chick im worried about
It cant walk .
Keeps falling onto its side
The side it keeps falling on the wing seems powerless
Also its eye on that side doesnt seem to open
Its chirping away and both legs can move and it can drink when I hold it .
What on earth could be causing this
It seems to be very strong
Please any input would be very grateful

Unfortunately this chick may be brain damaged. I have had a couple with similar problems from hatching in an incubator. Get some PolyViSol baby vitamins and give 1 or 2 drops daily if the chick makes it. Wet some feed and try to get it to eat. I would give it a day or two, and if there is no change I would think about culling this chick. The ones I had just got trampled by the others. So sorry.

Hi I culled in the end . I couldn't bare watching the chick like that
It was awful
And also my first chick I ever culled

Hopefully I don't have to do that to often
