I've had 30 of 31 redfoots hatch with no problems this season. The one that has problems seems to lack an internal rib and the plastron dips in. We have all had some hatchlings who have minor dips but this one is excessive. Has this happened to any of you guys or gals? I'll try and take a pic of it later today and post it.----thanks Richard
