Has anyone seen something like this...Help please

No, unfortunately it's pretty much in the center, right where I assume the yolk would be absorbed from

Grab another chick and compare the two.

No it won't wash off, it is almost like tiny tumors?!?

Cutaneous Marek's?

Here's an article about it: https://www.extension.umd.edu/sites...Preventing Mareks Disease in Small Flocks.pdf

Here's BYC's FAQ on it: https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/the-great-big-giant-mareks-disease-faq.66077/

Ok, it actually does feel pretty similar when compared against another chick so perhaps I am feeling the gizzard. I also witnessed the little guy poop, so that's still working, but it did seem a tad dry to me.

Very odd....great pics.
No advice, sorry.

I haven’t seen that condition before.

The abdominal air sacs are there, right? Maybe it's something in the air sacs?

It might be fowl pox? but I would think it's too young to contract pox, unless it was infected before the umbilical dried? Idk, like the rest, I've never seen anything like it before, either.

Things don't necessarily need to be bad to report them, it just lets us know that the post needs attention, like you can even report your own posts if you need something changed.

Awesome. I'll keep that in mind.

I’ve never actually seen fowl pox,but wouldn’t some of the other 60+ birds also show signs if it was? I honestly know nothing about the disease but have seen pictures and none of my birds appear to have anything going on
