I have been hatching some shipped auracana eggs. Two chicks from the eggs that are hatching at the moment were malpositioned. One of them I was able to save, although the other was too weak to make it.
The surviving chick has what appears to be a flap of loose skin on its butt. Has anyone seen this before? Is it something that will affect the chick's ability to grow? Will it go away?
It is a rumpless chick, and at first I thought it simply had a bald spot. However there is actually enough loose skin that I can gather it up between my fingers without effort.
