Brand new baby - sick and hernia?

[hoping4eggs]

We had one of our hens go broody. Last week she hatched out 4 adorable chicks. One died shortly after. The other 3 are doing great. This morning I found a brand new wet baby. By lunch time though it was floundering and doing poorly. I brought it in and have been offering some spiked water. Stopped at the store and got some baby food. Other than this and heat what else can I do? He doesnt seem to be improving but no worse yet. No strength to stand..just lays for now. also appears to have a herniated bellybutton? is this common? Do we have any hope? TIA

That is about all you can do.

TY! I have it curled in my chest and hand right now.. offering body heat and supporting a more correct position... We shall see what night brings..
