So, first batch of eggs hatching. Everyone except this one seems uniform in color and how they appeared immediately upon hatching was uniform as well. They are all bresse. This one looks very different.
1) he is grey in feather coloration and purplish body. All other chicks are yellow feathered with pinkish bodies
2) it has something attached to it. It seems like an umbilical attached to a mass is some sort. The cord has now dried.
It was brought to my attention that this may be seriously abnormal. Pictures are attached, unsure how to proceed. Chick is still in incubator with other hatching chicks, 99.5°f, 70%rh. Hatched less than 3 hours ago
