This chick pushed out of it's shell about 15 hours ago. At first, it's belly looked REALLY orangy, and I figured it hadn't absorbed the yolk. The shell was still attached at the center( where the scrambled egg looking blob is). When I got home from work, I noticed the stringy thing connected from belly to eggshell was dried up, so I cut the shell free.
It looks like, in the picture, there is like a membrane attached to the belly, but it isnt.. Thats the belly.
It is moving its legs, but I am not sure its toes are wiggling. I put down a soft towel, and laid it on its belly, thinking maybe that will alow it to excercise its feet a little.
Any ideas? Anyone have anything like this ? any thoughts? I'm not sure it's the yolk. He looks like he has a very- VERY swollen belly..
