4 days ago I had a chick hatch with what appeared to be long brown hairs in addition to his yellow down. Day 2 I noticed he seemed to be unsteady on his feet but I just thought he needed some more time. Day 3 and he was screaming a lot but eventually seemed to settle down in the sun - he is with his mom. Day 4 and he was screaming so much I brought him inside but it is actually driving me insane. Unless he’s very hot and wrapped up with a hot water bottle he is screaming. He drank quite a bit of “nutridrench”. He hasn't eaten but seems like to wants to eat its just difficult for him to aim or stand still. He made a poop.

I’m not set up for looking after him inside so trying my best.

Do the hairs have anything to do with whatever is wrong with him?
