Hi, everyone. This chick hatched without absorbing it's yolk sac yesterday. His intestines got pulled out too, but I gently pushed them back in with a q-tip. He was fine, but then this yellow string popped out with blood on the end. What is it? Are his intestines coming out again? The hole had closed up, but I guess it reopened when I tried to soak his tummy in warm water to clean him. What do I do? Someone please help! He's still chirping and is quite active.
EDIT: I noticed that the other two chicks have blood on their beaks. Could they have pecked it open?
