chick just hatched with massive growth attatched to its umbilicus. I initially thought it was its bowels formed externally but it didnt look right for that. i was examining the chick when he scratched it with his foot and split the membrane. dark yellow gunk leaked out along with another baby chick which had stopped developing at about 14 days. i tied thread around the join between chick and mass and removed it. there was no bleeding and apart from being a bit undersized he seems to be okay. should i be doing anything else to help him and has anyone else had this happen?
