Open Ear Chick? Is this ok?

[ChickaGalaxy]

I was hatching a fresh batch of chicks, who are all doing great, an I have this one who has what seams like an open ear cavity. Kind of like a lizard if you know what there ears are like. And I just want to make sure it's going to be fine, I'm pretty sure it will be I've just never seen this before. I'll add a picture in a minute once I have one.

I have a picture of one of my regular chicks and the one in question. You'll probably notice the one with the weird ear is fresher than the other one, what you can't see is that I could probably fit the ball of a pin inside the ear hole of the one with the weird ear. At first I thought maybe it's because it's just not fluffy yet, but I've handled not all the way fluffy chicks and I've never seen this.

I'd really appreciate some opinions

Let me ask the mods to switch this to the thread for "Emergencies/ injuries" section so you'll get more responses.

I'm sorry I don't have advice but I'm sure someone can help soon.

Ok, thanks

Has anyone ever seen this before?

I've never seen that before. I'd just monitor the chick and see what she looks like after she's dried and fluffed out.

Just make sure that she is not getting pecked. It might be where she was possibly stuck to her shell, or it may look fine when she is dry.
