Help! I did a hatch for a preschool class and one of the chicks has a strange lump on it's belly. I admit, it was not making progress after 48 + hours and I was expecting it to be deceased this morning, but I was able to assist it out of the shell, since it was peeping this morning and I just could not leave it to die any longer. I'm attaching a photo of the chick's backside. It is standing (wobbly) but acting like a normal hatchling other than this lump. What is it? Will it survive?
Thanks for your help! This is a first for me and I'm glad to have some experts weigh in.
