Subject says it all. I have a almost two week old tux, has an air pocket with fluid in it under skin above wing. Not sure what to do, i can easily pop it with a needle. Nothing wrong with the bird other than that will try and get a good photo

I think I have heard about this on here before and they said to pop it and all shall be back to normal

Just some fluid retention, you can pop it and it should be fine.

It seems to have gone away for the most part, if it comes back I will pop. Thanks all

did it hatch with it? I've had budgie chicks hatch with fluid filled pockets on the neck, supposedly caused by bacteria.

No it didn't, it formed maybe four days ago. Its smaller than it was yesterday

I found one of my breeder hens with what sounds
Like the same thing yesterday. Found a needle and went to go take care of it after have seen this post and it was gone. I put her in a solo pen just to monitor her.
