chicks breastbone sticking out?!!

[PanFam]

We just added to our collection of chickens yesterday with four new chicks. (They’re obviously under a light & not with the hens). The salesperson checked them over; eyes, body, butt and all looked good. However, today, the black australorp has something sticking off of her chest. Looks like her breast bone! She’s trying to pick at it & it was not there yesterday. Looks like crusted long feathers or twigs but there is nothing like that in their cage/pen. She’s still walking, eating, being curious….
What is this?! Pease help.

Is that attached to the feathers, or is actually penetrating?

Also it would be wish bone, from the location.

How could a bone be in one day, and protruding in the next? It has to be something else.

Looks like something stuck to the feathers is all

Looks like something got stuck to her.

It DOES look like somethings stuck. But I’m afraid to pull or cut. And wishbone, yes, that’s what I meant.

I'd give it a good look, to see if it's just stuck on the feathers, if it is, it's most likely safe to pull.

That doesn't appear to be a wish bone to me. Maybe a small fish bone?

It looks like a piece of dried-up membrane from the shell that got stuck to the chick.
I would pull it off.
