I'm no expert but I wouldn't kill it. Perhaps he just hatched a bit premature? Give him a chance to absorb the yolk. Dip his beak in some water and just see to it that if he's having trouble with mobility, that he is in a comfortable heat range. Use the other chicks to tell you how close he should be to the lamp.

My two cents. And that's exactly what it's worth.

Merry Christmas!

I hope your chick is doing better. Anyone, have any ideas for Maiseynz?

Merry Christmas everyone!

Maiseynz... I hope your chick made it. Please give us an update!

Thanks for your concern everyone. It came right and in a day or so was running and feeding with its brothers and sisters and had no signs of distress - it was looking good, but then I found it dead the other morning. I had another die from the same hatch so I'm not certain that it had a continuing problem - maybe unfortunately something else killed it. It's belly certainly improved and was normal within a few days. I guess these things happen.

Sorry about your chick. Thanks for the update.

Also, my condolences as to Sir Hillary.
