Hi guys...HELP.

One chick has been out for about an hour+ and he acts as though his neck is too long or he has no control or his head is too heavy. He keeps his head tiped back all the way on his neck. He leans against something and props it backward. Like if you sat in your office chair and let your head fall back as far as it can go. What do I do?

oooh?? IDK??? I dont think I ve ever seen that. All though Ive seen alot of chicks hatch that move like rubber chickens and I leave them alone. Usually within the first 6 hours whatever it was-a much needed stretch or muscle movement has fixed itself as strength builds>> yes? IMO--I say just leave it and just watch it. I wouldnt do anything for it just yet-its still early

ok it's been over 5 hours since the last update......

9/12 my cochin mixes 2 more pip

The one with the neck problem has not improved. He can not control his head...see my earlier post for description. The rest of his body is strong but he spends a lot of time on his back.

When you guys talk about culling...what is that really. Do you "kill" them?
