Chicks hatching today!! day 20

[welsumm44]

One of the chicks has a bulbous lump on its bumb I was wandering if this is normal? Is it down to incubation or just genetics? Any solutions.

If you could post a picture, I can probably be more help. It may just be the umbilical cord and egg sack, but I would like to see before giving a definitive answer.

Right I'll try to get one soon but s/he is still in the bator so may wait for here to dry off a bit first.

That might be the yolk sac, but like ShowYourStuff said, we cannot know for sure until we see it

Is it like this? The picture was taken about 8 weeks ago. She had a little lump on her bum it looked like yolk but its dryed up now and fallen off. https://www.backyardchickens.com/gallery/image/view/album/6108159/id/4960047/sort/display_order
