It feels like air under the skin and they are pooping fine and I am unsure of the breed.It is hard to know if the chick may have some type of defect, such as a hernia, but most chicks with mushy chick disease (omphalitis) die within the first 2 weeks, and are very sick. Does the enlarged lower belly feel like tissue or air under the skin? Is it pooping normally? What breed is it?
