    2 week old chick has VERY red butt and is pecking at it

    Just an update; I haven't yet tried tying anything off. The mass has definitely shrunk down since yesterday afternoon. Since it is shrinking I figured I'd continue to watch closely. I sprayed the area with vetermicyn and wrapped the chick in clean, warm and moist paper towel. The chick that...

    2 week old chick has VERY red butt and is pecking at it

    Wow! Terrific idea! I will definitely use that if I ever hatch anymore babies. And okay subhanalah. I will try to tie it off. I just put a string around the mass as close to the body as possible and when trying the knot pull as right as possible? I imagine it will cry and flail. Is it okay...

    2 week old chick has VERY red butt and is pecking at it

    Enola, Yes there was a problem during incubation. On day 17 I came home to find the power had surged and tripped the breaker. My incubator had been off for a long time to the point where the eggs were cold. I literally cried because I thought I had lost all 17 of my babies but several people...

    2 week old chick has VERY red butt and is pecking at it

    2 week old chick has VERY red butt and is pecking at it

    2 week old chick has VERY red butt and is pecking at it

    I'm not sure. Do you get those from the drug store? All I currently have is bacitracin. Actually, does anyone have pictures of the different things that can be hanging from the butt area in a New chick? I have two with the small red spot and one with a rounded mass about a centimeter in...

    2 week old chick has VERY red butt and is pecking at it

    So should I just leave it alone? Will it heal by itself or wouldn't it get infected?

    2 week old chick has VERY red butt and is pecking at it

    I, too, am very curious about this as one of my chicks that just hatched has something that looks like this. I think I should wait for it to fluff up before applying any antibiotic ointments, but I would like to know if anything else should be done.
