Head Lump / Abnormality

[shaunyb33]

Hi everyone, after some suggestions/recommendations on a chick hatched overnight with a lump on its head.
It’s possibly exposed brain? The pic isn’t great but when I compare it to “exposed brain” it’s not as large or swollen.
They will be out of the incubator later today or tomorrow.
Whilst I’d love to do everything I can for it, I’m also realistic that sometimes they don’t have a future
Appreciate all responses!

I don't think your pic loaded properly... I can't see it anyway.

If it's any help, I've seen a chick with a fairly minor hole in its skull grow out the spot and age just fine, the spot never feathered, mind you, but she did just fine.

Oh! There it is.. that's a lot bigger than the one I witnessed

Sorry LateBirdFarms - just posted the pic

I couldn't begin to guess how that baby is going to do for you hopefully someone whose seen similar can give you a better idea

Poor little chick! You never know, it might be ok! I have a 3 day old chick with a lump on its neck. No feathers there either, but she seems to be doing ok so far.

Whatever happened with this chick? I had a chick like this hatch yesterday, just wondering if yours made it.
