So I have this chick, hes normal, absorbed yolk and all, but hes not as good on his feet or growing as well as his sibling.
I noticed today that his once soft abdomen now has a hard lump inside. You cant see it but you can feel it, hes had a little problem with pasty butt but so has the other, had some trouble with algae growing in the waterer with the high heat.
I don't know whats wrong with him, or her, but I am very worried, I just lost my black silkie hen to old age and this is the ONLY black chick I have!
I recently had a large hen die of cancer, she presented similarly. Hes kinda young for cancer, only a week old. Maybe the yolk is gone bad or something inside him??
I tried to google but could find nothing on this in young chicks. The mass is new and seems to be getting worse.
