It could be wry neck. Sometimes the chin goes down and flopping onto the back is a symptom too.

Ply vi sol without iron, a drop in the morning, noon and night can help with it. It can take a lot of work and a couple of weeks. If the neck does not recover enough for it to eat, then you have to feed it which can involve tube feeding.

I have one that keeps it's head down, darn, will have to get that P V S out. Forgot about that ron..thanks! Also, didn't know about giving it that much through out the day. I have had to feed a few babies before..don't mind that a bit. Hope this works, it's a white silkie. :/

gutted. Somebody knocked over my incubator (which was on a backwards facing chair out of the way and kids only allowed in supervised) all four of the eggs in lockdown smashed. Only one had been viable but was dead, it's yolk was still up absorbed and one of it's blood vessels had ruptured in the fall.
I was really hoping that one little salmon favorelle would make it.
Luckily I have some three week old chickies here to console myself and a friend has four one day olds I can get Monday. But it's not the same as hatching your own.
Bator went in the bin as the yolk from two of the undeveloped maybe eggs had gone into the motor and it was making noises.
Expensive painful learning process.

rip sweeties.

You too? Well then, hope you get better sooner than later. I take vitamins..and drink water!

Probably one of the kids moved the chair blocking the entry to the rec room, then the dog might have knocked it. I've been checking every half hour because I was expecting hatching today/tomorrow.
Just feel so bad for the one who made it then all the temp problems, all the humidity problems, to be lost at the last hurdle.
Not hatching again. Too hard.
Thanks all for the hugs. I'm off to scoff some chocolate
