Please im worried about my 3 week old kaks im handrearing im experianced been doing it for years but never seen this before ,3 off my 6 babies are holding there heads right back neally sitting on there back they eating small amount this is only happened within 4 hours from there last feed please help thankyou
Im not to sure what u mean...they have their heads up, and nearly falling over backwards?
We saw this when had CCTV in a nesting box a few yrs back. sometimes falling over, then very clumsy roll over and wiggle back up over the remaining infertile eggs...
Have u left the remaining infertile eggs in the nest box?
We and several others have a theory that not all eggs are meant to hatch... they allow the very young chicks form a pyramid around them for feeding....and act as hot water bottles for any short periods the hen may leave the nest
Cheers

And we had out cctv cameras in the nesting box, over a summer period, inside the house.
Certainly explains that to then..
Could you please help this guy out from Finland..
