Baby chick has a black tongue tip

[Dani42]

Hi everyone.

Just got this sweet baby on Sunday and this afternoon her tongue was sticking out of the side of her beak and is black. No other chick is showing signs on this.

She is still pecking at her food.

That looks like part of her beak.

Can you open the beak and look at the tongue inside?

When I got off work today she has her tongue in now. It still has the black tip. She would not cooperate with me to get a picture of the inside of her beak.
