So this chick hatched this afternoon (I had to assist), and was born with very stiff toes. Now I'm seeing this strange and disconcerting behavior of rolling, distress calling, and scratching at the face. It comes in waves but has been continuing for quite some time. He'll often end up on his back from shaking so violently, and when he scratches his face he shakes his head very quickly back and forth. He was not doing this earlier, in fact he was acting like a normal chick just a couple hours ago.
Any advice? Below is a video of the behavior:
