    What is the lump on the new born's head?

    She is still alive. Blood dried up and the lump doesn't feel as tender. Spraddle legs are doing fine too. I should leave couple of days more to make sure legs are fixed. 3 more chicks are hatched along. Silkies are gentle with excellent mom so I am leaving with them.

    Spraddle leg. Luckily the post below mine explains it. I layered paper towel to provide traction and put rubber band. Hopefully deformation is not permanent.
