Ambilical Lump??

[hamster]

I was checking my chicks for pasted up bottoms and noticed on one of them a lump that looked like a M&M stuck to her bottom. After careful observation, it looks like it is attached to where if a chicken had a belly button would be. Do I need to be concerned about this? It is a Barred Plymouth Rock. Does not show any signs of being sick.

Leave it be and let it heal on it's own. Keep the brooder very clean until it does so.

Good luck.

It could also be a tiny bit of unabsorbed yolk. Keep the area clean and the chick should be ok.
