    Baby chick not lifting head, standing or spreading toes

    I had one that looked like this. He hatched about 24 hours ago too. I sat with him in front of a heater and massaged his little legs and joints and have him sitting in the brooder box now. I just went to check on him and he's actually not curled up in the fetal position he's kinda propped up...

    Help!!!!

    Just wanted to update you guys who helped me. After waiting a while and still no progress I pull back some of the membrane and made the little guy a bigger opening.

    Help!!!!

    Thanks guys. Just went and checked again and I think his membrane is drying out. Nothing is happening still. I’m gonna give him a bit longer and then starting pulling the membrane back some. Thanks for your help.
