Tumor on baby chick

[Brookeee2013]

Ok so one of my chicks hatched 3 days ago and 2 hatched last night. One of the new chicks has like a soft tumor or fluid pocket on his neck. He also seems to be very weak. Do you think he'll die?

It's hard to know what might be wrong with your new chick, just try to get it to drink and eat. If you have some Chick Saver or electrolytes to put in the water, that would be good. Make sure it doesn't get trampled by the other chicks. I hope your little one perks up and improves!
