One of my australorp chicks that hatch this morning has this excess skin arround the buttox area any idea what it is ( fluid ). It seems to be bogged down when trying to walk with this excess fluid sack dragging around

I am not 100% sure but could it maybe be the yolk that t absorbed? If so it should go down in time.

Well its been a few days and the chick still has this excess skin on its rear. Most of the fluid is gone now its just excess skin flap. chicks eating and drinking fine i assume it ill just grow into its extra body skin ?

I am not sure I have never had seen this before. But I hope that he will just grow into the extra skin though,
