Baby Chick not pooping/eating *graphic photos*

Very sorry for your loss. To me it looks like it failed to absorb is yolk, so the cause of death was probably related to that. Can you cut open the yolk sac and take pictures of it?

Tried orally giving him a drop... evidently it was too late. Within a matter of minutes he passed away. Hate to do it, but I think I’m going to have to find out was that mass was..

The mass was probably the gizzard.

I wasn’t entirely sure what that was.... I didn’t even think of the yolk sac since the navel looked nicely healed. Unfortunately I can’t dissect it now as I’ve already disposed of it . I wonder what would cause that...

Here is some info for you. It's a little technical, but you might find some of it useful:

I am glad that Kathy responded since I have not done necropsies on any chicks before. Sorry for your loss.

Thanks so much everyone for your advice and help. So very appreciative. It’s so nice to be able to ask a group of knowledgeable chicken people when google just doesn’t do the trick.
