Zebra finch chick abnormality

[ac12]

You may have to separate the M and F to get the hen to stop laying eggs. I had a hen that kept laying eggs. I had to separate her from her mate, then she stopped laying eggs.

Hello everyone,

Check out this video and compare the chick with the others in the nest.

Hmm, didn't think she looked too bad till you showed the others. Was she the last born? It's almost like she's a week behind the others. How do the parents respond to her?

P.S. Why am I calling it a her? lol

Hi Lisa,
SHE!!!! Is the first or second to hatch, and I remembered something that I forgot to mention before that at the age of four or five days this chick was thrown out of the nest by the parents most probably the male. And when I found it at the bottom of the cage, I returned it to the nest without giving a thought about why it was tossed.
But now after realizing the condition I became sure that the parents must have discovered the abnormality and rejected the chick.
As you can see, this condition affects the head movements and the growing of feathers and maybe much more that we can't see and I really want to know what is it because I've had it in a previous clutch.
