Quail Chick with weak neck?

[Harleysgirl]

Hi

I hatched 8 beautiful perfect quail yesterday, still had 2 to hatch. One hatched this morning.
Was a big surprise in a way because this egg was cracked on day 12 and repaired. Kept living so I left it.

Well the excitement of him hatching was short lived :-( he doesn't seem to be able to lift his head or control his neck??

He only hatched about 30mins ago but I can see him wanting to get up onto his feet but he can't :-(

Any ideas on how or if I can save him??

Just an update. He is now getting stronger by the hour. Sitting up now. A bit unco on his feet and a lot smaller then the others but doing well in his own little brooder
