Chicken Hernia Yolk Sac?

[BelovedBirds]

So after more reading, I believe this is the chick's navel, not vent. Not sure if it's yolk sac or what, but it is drying up now and little chick is acting okay. Still sleepy, but eats/drinks on occasion. Should I let it dry up or try to keep it moist? Little chick has pooped at least once since birth yesterday at 4pm.

We tried using band aids to help the curled toes yesterday, but we need better band aids. Lol

I would guess that what you saw was the remain of the umbilical cord, but yes it is the naval not vent, I believe. The first photo threw me off but the second is clearer, looks to be drying up nicely.

Let is dry up.

Can the chick walk around at all?
I would get some human B-Complex and give the chick 1/4 tablet a day. For a chick that small, I dissolve the 1/4 tablet in a tiny amount of water, then syringe drops into it several times a day.

Get the chick eating and drinking on it's own as quickly as you can.
