My game hen had chicks. The first one that hatched yesterday I found one dead in the nest with blooding coming from its head, I assumed the mother killed it, so when the other chicks hatched I thought it would be best to take them away as soon as possible. And one of them has a stick looking thing sticking out and also has been bleeding. I'm so worried I don't know what to do
 
The "stick" looking thing is probably the umbilical cord. It should be attached below the vent where the chickens belly button will eventually be.

X2 this is what I'm thinking, but pictures to be safe might not be a bad idea.
 
I forgot to thank you guys, I was really worried. It is the umbilical cord, I told my dad to have a look at it
