Chicks foot stuck in its bellybutton?

It looks dried up here but one of the other pics it looked pinker and wetter.
Could just be dried 'hatching gunk'.

Please let us know how this plays out so we can all learn. (Keeping fingers crossed!)

We ended up cutting it, it was a piece of skin that had formed around the foot During development. You could see where one of her toes had developed a crimp because of it. No bleeding or pain though she is still trying to figure out how to walk on it.

Bizarre!
Where did you get hatching eggs?
What breed?

I got the eggs from a lady in North Idaho who has a flock of blue, lav and black Marans. This one is black. I have hatched from her before and had great hatch rates and no issues.

Thank you for sharing. Hope she is soon up and running around!

Please keep us posted on the leg and 'skin tag' of this chick.

I hope it will eventually be able to walk.
I hadn't seen anything like it but I did hatch a chick with 3 legs before. One was normal, One was a club foot and the third was growing out of its vent. I took some pictures before I put it down.

The chick is walking today, a little wabbly but she is figuring it out. The skin tag looks like it is drying up. I think it will most likely fall off. I will keep you posted.
I’ve never heard of a deformity like the three footed chick. How strange.
