weird chick - WARNING PHOTOS

[chicksonline]

i’ve never had problems when hatching and this one took a while to get out of egg and not fully developed, i know it will die and it might be best if we let it pass on, but i was wondering why this has happened and what i can do to stop it happening in the future!

Looks like it just has an underbite

Is this an open scull or just goo on top?

no it’s a part of her head that’s why i’m really worried about it!

This is a genetic defect, equivalent to human anencephaly.

I recommend to end the suffering, as there is no cure for this condition.

Poor thing. Is it acting at all like the other chicks? La flèche is probably right however, doesn’t seem like it would make it very long with the exposed brain tissue I’m sorry you had this happen

That's so sad! I'm so sorry you have to out this baby down but I also feel like it would be cruel to keep him alive in his condition.
