This chick hatched today and on both wings and most of the toes seems to be a necrosis of some sort. I have never in 20+ years had anything like this. First picture is the right hand side and the second picture is the left hand side. You'll notice the wing on the right hand side is by far the worse.

 

I don't expect this chick to survive even though it does appear to be fairly tough at this point.

wow that is extremely unusual!

wow what would be cause of that rip ???

Oh that's awful RIP, I didn't know budgies can get that.

Very unusual. I recall Gina mentioned once about chicks with no toenails. http://forums.budgiebreeders.asn.au/index....amp;hl=toenails

 

Note the chick of yours is quite white.

yes but what causes it

do you know

My guess would be some sort of infection during development, it does look very pale and anaemic. The other possibility which is less likely is that the chick may have had the limbs caught up in some sort of thread-like fibers inside the egg and lost blood supply to those areas?

Yes the chick is pale, anemic looking, hence why I din't think it would survive. As of this morning thought the little tike is still alive and seems quite strong.

 

The necrosis does look like something had wrapped around these parts and cut blood supply. However the affected areas are many. Maybe we will never know the cause.

 

There area few other eggs still to hatch so will see what the contents of these eggs bring.

What happens if the poor thing does survive? That looks very painful
