Butt tumor on a newly hatched chick

[Black Dutch]

Does anyone know what is wrong with him (yes him) he was born that way and was an emergency assist hatch (he nearly took 48 hours before I gave in) he is still in the incubator and is a day old. He walks fine and stumbles a bit. The smell I'm the incubator makes me nauseus and now m my clothes sink and my hair stinks and I'm not sure id its another egg or him. Another chick is responding to him. I've been in the chicken business for five years since i was 8 and I've never heard of anything like this

Welcome to BYC

I blew up the pic and I can't see what is going on there, sorry. There are some chick navel problems with pics in this article, scroll down, it's quite far down in the article:

Welcome to BYC. I'm with Sumi in that I can not tell from the picture. Any possibility that it is an unabsorbed yolk sack?

Greetings from Kansas, Black Dutch, and

! Great to have you with us! Hope your chick is okay.

I am thinking the same as Sumi that could be an unabsorbed egg sac. IN that case leave it alone and maybe isolate the chick or others won't peck at it. It should be absorbed in a day or two, That nourishes the chick - if you try to remove it, it will end up bleeding.

He died in his sleep last night...

I just had seven chicks hatch( first time incubating eggs) and one chick has the same thing. Looks like a butt tumor? I have it isolated because the other chicks will peck and pull at it.

Any help would be appreciated. Seems perky, fine and drinks, but not sure what to do about this if anything.

Thought this might be a better picture to tell.
