You sure they weren't just sealed shut? I've had those before. the "growth" could have been yolk sac that hadn't fallen off or been absorbed... which is nothing to worry about (don't pull it off if you see it on another chick some day). Contact the seller and ask for a new chick or credit.Yes. I just checked. Definitely no eyesAnd he had a bad case of pasty butt. I soaked him and cleaned it, but I dont think he's eaten since he was hatched Tuesday. So sad to receive this little guy, especially from a breeder. I know I got the "rejects" from him, but I'm really surprised I got a no eyed chick. Not sure what to do with him. Never had to cull a chick before and I'm all teary thinking about it
I also found a growth on his abdomen. Here is a picture. No idea what it is.
