HELP-Chick with water balloon

Agreed, I'd really like to know how the chick is.

 

[MINDANAO DAVE]

I also think you should drain that growth. However once drained what will you do with the excess skin ?

Ok heres what happened
I decided to let nature take its course,
Put Her in a large bird cage and it started to shrink about a week later. Today its completely gone. Still dont know what it was.
and to answer Donraes question. I thought it was a black sex link. I purchased 50 Black sex link pullets and 10 Americana pullets and 10 assorted dark brown egg pullets, now I can tell that she is a feather legged cuckoo moran so glad I took the time with Her

Very interesting! Glad she's okay.

As someone said about the excess skin, this thing just shrank as you can see, and the skin shrank with it.

That is amazing! I tend to agree with letting nature take its course as long as animal is healthy in other respects - no infection, pain, etc. Good job!

Wow, glad the little bugger ended up okay.

 

[Maikan]

Really glad your chicks ok and everything has returned back to normal.

Soo happy to hear the update! Glad she's doing well!!

 

[donrae]

Pretty amazing!

I'm glad you took the time, too, for a rare-er layer like a Marans. Hopefully she'll reward you with nice dark brown eggs in the spring.
