One of our chicks hatched last night and there is larger bump somewhat raw on his bottom.
What may this be?
I will try to post a picture if I can get one,
he is moving all around and fluffy but the bottom looks a bit different than the others.
Suggestions?
Thanks
Humidity dropped a little over night when I went in to check today. was at 46%, I added more water (through a straw) as I didn't want to open. it is back up to 62% hope it won't hurt the little chicks..
