3 day old chick with fecal matter coming out if imbilica

When a chick get an infected umbilical cord, do you think this problem is from bad genes or environmental circumstance like a stressful hatch ect...?


Sometimes they don't absorb the yolk properly and the infection sets in on day 1. Remember never to pick at a scab in that area... I did that once and the yolk started to leak out.
