I have this chick that I hatched, a silkie/millie cross that has a very small lower beak and long top beak. It appears as though it's tongue is in this "lump" under it beak. Has anyone experienced this? I've been making it a mash and it appears to be eating it. I'm not sure what to do for it, or if it will survive. I attached a picture where you can see the "Lump." When I open the beak, there is no tongue and you can see the lump moving almost like a frog when they croak. It's so strange!
