Worried and wondering about newly hatched chick

[happymom99]

I’ve never incubated and hatched before. This is my first time and things are going well. I’ve had 17 chicks hatch so far. One who hatched in the middle of the night is acting different than the rest have ever acted and I am wondering if she is unwell. I am also wondering if she is suffering and should be culled. I don’t want to cull her if she is going to be ok though.

She is a tiny little bantam and she is laying on her back. If I flip her over to put her on her stomach, she flips herself back to her back.
She shivers occasionally and chirps occasionally as well.

I appreciate any thoughts you have on this.

Put her in a sock, and then put that in a cup so she cannot flip over. Do you have any poultry nutridrench, electrolytes, or iron free pedialyte that you can give her? Do not force her to drink it though. She may be ok, she may not be, its hard to say at this point. I would try and take good care of her though Good luck!
