Had a chick hatch yesterday that had a hole in her abdomen through which an inch of what looked like intestine was protruding. It was oozing blood and greenish stuff. It also appeared that there was blood oozing into the area under the skin in her abdomen. Her feet were very awkward - not misshapen, but not working properly. She was chirping up a storm and I didn't even realize the issues until she was about 8 hours old and out of the bator. Had DH put her down last night. Have any of you ever seen this before, and it really wasn't something she'd outgrow, right?
