Is this normal. It feels very liquidy and puffy. The other chicks do not look like this. Is there something I can do to help her?
 
Could it be a bit of leftover yolk sack? If so, won't it eventually absorb it in the next 24 hours or so? 'debiraymond' was right, a picture might help.
 
ok....... if she is still puffy tomorrow I will take a picture..... there was more wetness and blood with her hatch then the others so maybe it is the yolk absorbing. I feel better. Thanks guys. I will take a pic in the morning if she is still looking unusual. I would have to wake up a sleeping 10 mo old baby if I took a pic now.

thanks!
