I have a baby chick that is about 5 days old and the breast has split from its body. Almost, like it has burst out of its skin (second pic). These are broilers and now that I look at all of them I am getting paranoid. All there breast seem enlarged. This is my first time growing chickens and I have studied this site for months, Has this ever happen to anyone else? Am I over feeding or just a genetic defect? Also, it seems to me that some their breast appears to be more to one side than the other (first pic). Is this normal. Thanks for help!
