What’s wrong with my chick

[Krazy_chicken_lady1205]

somethings wrong with one of my chicks, it was the last one to hatch about 2-4 days after everyone else,
It’s quite clumsy and has something wrong with its head, it keeps trying stand up y’all but then falls, but I’m more concerned about it’s head, it also keeps falling over onto its back and then struggles to get up right

top of it's head looks like an air bubble (im not a total expert) but im guessing it didn't absorb everything it needed

What does that feel like, is it hard, fluid or air filled?
I have never seen that even in pictures. Let's see if someone like @Pyxis @Eggcessive or @casportpony may have a better idea.

i've seen someone with a similar problem but we'll leave it to the experts

Sometimes chicks hatch with an edema there, but never seen one like that. The shape of it makes me wonder if it's skin over brain tissue. Whatever it is, I don't think you can do anything except wait and see. Hopefully it is just fluid and it will resolve on it's own.

I can’t really tell but it is soft and a little bloody

it was an air bubble and it had to be popped after a while, really you should call a vet for help when popping one though (avian vet)

I hope it gets better
