RED BUBBLE

[Feather Head]

Hello i am new to this page and to hatching chicks. I have started to hatch my first clutch of eggs today and have had a problem with the second chick that has hatched. There is a big red bubble looking thing on the under side of the chick about the size of a small grape. what is this and what should i do?

HI and welcome, I am also new to BYC, so I can't really help with the problem you are describing. Try posting this question in the Emergencies/Diseases/Injuries and Cures forum under Raising Backyard Chickens. You may get a better response. Good luck to you and your little chick

Hi and from Ohio. So glad you joined. Is it on the belly where the yolk was attached? If so, it could have torn a little causing a blood blister. marlo1968 made a good suggestion about posting in the Emergencies section. Good luck.
