[beavers12]

Hi.
I JusTGot A New Batch Of Baby Chicks . The Ones Who Survived Shipping Are Doing Great. HoweverToday I Noticed My Buff Brahma Girl Appears To Have A "Mass" Between Her Legs. Like Looking Like A Toddler Running Around With A Full Diaper. She Gets AroundFine, Eating And Drinking Well,Output Seems Normal ....Acting Just Like The Others! I Maybe Could Say She Is Breathing Harder...I Felt It And It's Hard And Not Attached To Anything..Like Possibly The Back End Of A Keel Bone???
What Could This Be
How Do I FixI It/How Did It Happen?
Is She Going To Be Able To Lay Normally If/When It Does Heal?
Cull?

Thank You For The Help.....I'm All NewToChicken Owning (But I Love It So Far)

Alright

great to have you in the flock

My real thoughts are it is it's three days feed supply from the egg

You might also post this question in the raising baby chicks section here on BYC. The people that hang out there might know more about what is going on with this baby....
