If that had been me when I was growing up, I probably wouldn't be here typing. Not many kids these days knows the wrath of dad.

Could just be bruising, or light trauma. Usually when they're brain damaged, you'll know it, and it usually doesn't get any better. Or they just act "funny" later in life.
Of course, i've never seen a chicken with brain damage, but other animals. I dropped a baby Budgie about 4 ft onto the floor when I was handfeeding, he had blue marks around his head, but quickly recovered.
I am also a groomer, and had a dog spaz out once, jump out of my arms (just came from tub), land on the floor, and walk sideways for about 20 minutes, and then was perfectly fine.
So it could be minor, or temporary...only time will tell.

As for your little brother, don't be so harsh...kids are kids, they don't always think before they act. I'm sure your little brother has a good heart....he just let his temper get the best of him. Teach him how to properly care for the chicks, he may enjoy it just as much as you do

I have a 3 yr old boy and an 8yr old boy, so I know it all too well. They love their birds, but at this age, they cannot be trusted 100%.

I was there I saw the whole thing.. the little brother is very good with the chickens and gentle with the chicks. this was a case of over excited kids with the me first syndrome. The chick seems normal in every aspect with the exception of some slight head shaking. I've been monitoring it for hours, and it's eating, drinking, and walking normal. I think Or hope it's just a little jarred from the fall.

I bet he felt bad after it happened. Little brothers can get excited a little too easy. Maybe just explaining how delicate little chickies are will help him know to be more careful next time. Just remember he was probably just impatient to see the baby. I'm sure you were pretty excited too

Hope it all goes well and your baby is fine. Sounds like its doing good if its eating and drinking ok. Enjoy them and have fun!!

thechickengoesRAWR - I have a 7 year old and a 17 year old - and I think you have perfectly captured her reaction to him 99% of the time "freaked the french toast out!"

- I hope your chick is ok. Little boys don't mean to do most of the stuff they do - neither do the big ones for that matter.
