Hello 👋🏻
I have hatched quails again, and one of them has this thing? On the belly. At the spot where the yolk gets absorbed. Those someone know what that is? The chick seems completely fine otherwise.

If it doesn’t absorb and close up properly in a few days it is probably the bird equivalent of an umbilical hernia, could also be a growth or mass of some sort, uncommon but possible. I’d just leave it alone and as long as ot doesn’t get bigger, break open, get pecked at, or cause trouble to the bird just let it be.
