    Is It Intestines or Umbilical Cord?

    I saw on one thread that a person said that if it's acting normal from the start, then he's fine. I've given him some water, and he's still in the incubator (still-air). He's starting to kind of run around...he's a perfectly normal chick except for this 'thing' hanging from his backside. If...

    Is It Intestines or Umbilical Cord?

    I had a chick hatch last night. It looked like the intestines were outside of it's body. I've been trying to keep it wet so it won't dry out, but it was really dry this morning, and the chick was walking around in the incubator like nothing was wrong. I noticed that I don't see a heart...
