Stuck chick out - hmmm?

[TOL Chick]

Hi - thanks to all who talked me through "helping" my stuck chick out - he's peeping like crazy - 3.5 hrs later.

I had to isolate him in a plastic dish with papertowel in it to keep the others from jumping on him in the bator. Because of the position he was in for 48 hours - on his back, head to one side, one leg out, one leg in the shell - he's a bit deformed right now.

Feet are curled up, head is to one side, and he's really not walking yet - any suggestions? I certainly want to give him a chance if you all think it is worth it...

thanks!

Give him a bit more time. You can isolate the one chick with a cardboard ring in the brooder if you need. With any luck, time will fix your baby up. If it's severe, you could try splinting, too - but I'm not sure if that would work in your case. Can you post a pic?
