Sticky Chick

[IHeartChickens10]

I have a chick that hatched awhile ago. Seems healthy, happy, and dry, but just the back portion of her seems to have dried into hard clumps. Is she okay?

Yep! I’ll try to post photos but she fluffed out much more now and she doesn’t look so sticky.

Doesn’t really look like any of that. Y’know how chicks look like when they are wet? Well she looked a bit like that, but she was dry. She seems to be looking a lot less ragged, but I’ll try to get pictures later. I think she might’s fallen into some yolk from another chick’s egg.

Glad she's fluffing out and doing better!
