Newly hatched Silkie chick with bubble on Neck

[The Ranch Girl]

So I thought this bubble was it’s crop but upon further examination it looks like an air bubble. It’s so odd, what do I do? I really want this chick to live!

My finger is pointing at it in this one:

How is she?
Can she move her head, is she breathing ok? Eating/drinking?

It does look like Air. IF she's up, moving, eating/drinking and active, not having difficulties, then I'd see if the air bubble resolves on its own.

If she's struggling, then you'll need to release the Air, clean the skin with alcohol or Chlorhexidine, then use a needle/syringe to poke right under the skin (avoid any veins you see) to release the air.

This may be helpful to you.

I appreciate you replying!! I tried as best as I could. But she passed away the next day sadly. I appreciate the video and will check it out to know what to do next time!
I’d never seen anything like that before.

I'm sorry she didn't make it

Sorry your chick did not make it.

To me it looks as if it was missing part of the skull which leaves the brain covered by skin only and the bird very vulnerable.

Sadly, this condition can be seen more often with crested vaulted skull breeds like Silkies, Polish etc.
