Here is another chick that started to hatch yesterday. It’s a Necked neck.

Here is Lucky. We waited until this morning hoping he would hatch but made very little progress. Poor Lucky was unable to get out of the shell. We had to fully assist him as he wouldn’t even try when we got some off. After we got Lucky out and he rested a bit he started moving around and is now doing great. He doesn’t appear to be a special needs chick. I think he was just so tired.

I really like this post:
an answer to the first part of your question. what is normal for a newly hatched chick? let's talk for a minute about the physiology of the newly hatched chick. on day 17 and a half of incubation the embryo opens its mouth and starts to drink the amniotic fluid. this is because other nutrition available to it has been depleted to a point where it's of no help. when the chick hatches ,it does have a yolk Sac which is biologically reserved for development of the muscles and the GI tract, and thus the immune system . So we see that from an energy standpoint, the chick is needy when it hatches.
it is important for us to get nutrition into the chick as soon as possible. the GI tract undergoes tremendous development the first 7 Days of a chick's life. the sooner we can supplement the GI tract and help it mature as properly as possible the more it will positively affect the chicks health for the rest of its life.
The chick has several challenges to overcome upon hatching. it must learn how to digest carbohydrates in the feed. it must rapidly establish proper microbiome in the GI tract so that harmful pathogens don't become established there. it must adjust to the new outside environment in which it is placed.
The place to intervene to help the chick in these three challenges is the development of the GI tract . this is where we can give the chick an advantage in life . The proper and Rapid proper development of the GI tract and its biome affects all body systems especially the immune system, which is very important to the baby chick.
So how can we help? first of all, we can we can make sure that the chick receives food early so it does not use the yolk Sac for energy purposes.
We can use a nutritional supplement for the chick. it should be one which does not stress the development of the GI tract but instead enhances it.
Bovidr Labs Poultry Nutridrench is such a supplement because it does not need to be digested . it mainlines directly into the bloodstream . All natural.
given orally at the rate of one drop per chick.For needy chicks, repeated every 8 to 10 hours as needed until the chick is perky.
This supplement will give the chicks extra nutrition, enzymes, and vitamins needed the jump start the GI tract and to help restore any neediness in the immune system. A quality probiotic given orally is also a great idea as it will help establish proper biome in the GI tract.
So this is what you can do to have a robust, perky newly hatched chick. Poultry Nutridrench for nutrition and quick energy. a quality probiotic given orally to help establish a proper biome in the GI tract. quality Heat so the chick is at a proper temperature. and fresh water.
Do not bother with chick grit until the chick is 7 days old.

As an addendum, Drench water grows nice healthy, robust chicks. if you wish, you can add one and a half teaspoons of Nutridrench per quart of water for the first two weeks of life. there's no need for electrolytes or apple cider vinegar in the water or any other supplement . Just Drench water, a quality chick feed , quality oral probiotic, fresh water , and chick grit after 7 days old
Best,
Karen
