She seems to be drinking normally and was walking around the brooding box normal. I’ll keep an eye on it tomorrow and post an update. The open skin looked like an injury as I have never raised chicks before! I hope you’re right and will get back to you tomorrow. Thank you!!
Hey everyone,
One of my chicks is a week old and I just noticed a large lump on the right side of her neck/chest area. It popped up pretty much out of nowhere. I checked on everyone this morning and when I did the same thing this afternoon I saw this huge lump. It seems to have broken her skin...
Hens go broody when you don’t want them to… and won’t go broody when you do.
