I have a banty chick that hatched this morning that appears to have pulled out some intestines. Very small amount. Kinda a red bump at the navel about 4mm thick. Anything I can do to help it? Will Witch Hazel help it retract? I'm not comfortable trying to push it back in.
 
It's a brighter red in person.

Are you sure that is the vent and not the umbilicus or navel? If it is the vent, I would just put a dab of plain neosporin or hydrocortisone cream on it. If it is the navel, put a dab of alcohol, betadine, or plain neosporin on it. How is the chick acting?

It's the navel. I know it's not the vent :p
It is super active.
