We had a slow going hatch last night that resulted in a peachick that I don't think will make it.

It had a twisted neck which straightened out pretty good but the chick seems to have a bit of fluid built up behind its head. It looks like maybe the crooked neck in the egg was the cause, maybe from the slow hatch. At first I thought it was a small tumor or cyst but seems to have a water balloon feel to it.

I'm hoping someone here may have seen this before and can point me in the right direction. I'm willing to try to drain it, have Tylan on hand and can start vitamins.

BTW, its name is Turbo.

It looks to just be the pipping muscle, for future re. when you see it in others.

He's doing great today. I think instead of chirping he's using his energy to practice flying and play karate with a week old showgirl banty. They are best buds now.

Thanks for the info. That makes sense.
