Baby chick got something stuck under it's vent

[SyBom]

This is my first flock of 5 baby chicks.

I noticed that one of them have something stuck on it at first i thought it was a pasty butt but then after watching some guides on how to remove that i noticed that the thing is not on the vent, it is under it, tried to use google but found nothing about this.

Possibly a distended hernia. Does it look like poop?

It looks brownish so i guess yes

Edit: ill post a picture of it later today

This page has a photo showing a chick's vent and its belly button. The belly button is kind of a dark lump under the vent.

I think it is the belly button, it looks exactly like the picture but bigger, and when i tried to remove it using a wet towel i noticed that it had some flesh on it.

Ill still take the picture because it looks a lot bigger

Edit: flesh on the part connected to the body not on all of it

In that case, it's probably best to leave it alone. Many belly button issues solve themselves in the first few days. And for the ones that don't, there's not usually much you can do except to watch in case the other chicks pick at it.

Don’t try to remove it. Our chick had the same issue. It will fall off. I would isolate the bird or keep it under direct supervision with the others. They will peck it and as a result will end up killing the chick.
