Hatched 2 hours ago, first time hatching I don’t know what’s normal but this doesn’t seem normal. Very shakey, breathing seems heavy, can scoot around incubator but hasn’t walked yet. Please help what can I do?
 
Give it time.. it takes a lot for them to hatch. I had a chick take almost 12 hours to get its energy after hatching..


I took a video, Would you say this is normal? I have no idea what is normal but it doesn’t seem right. He seems really shaky?
 
Thanks everyone for the responses, he (or she) is doing well so far! Sorry for not updating sooner, I was up literally all night just watching him making sure he was still alive so I was really tired. As it turns out I am just neurotic! :) I've never seen a newborn baby gosling and that all seemed so concerning but I guess it's normal. He's pretty fluffed up now, not doing any of the scary stuff anymore and seems bright and healthy! But if anyone has any real red flags that I should be looking out for, please let me know! Thanks everyone!!
