Chicks intestines are out!??

Does it look like this?

I’ve just read that you can use a cotton bud to try and gently push the intestines back in to its body, as the opening will soon start to close up. Cutting off the circulation and killing the chick. See if you’re able to gentle push them back in before the hole starts closing up

Also keep it warm in the incubator and if you do choose to push them back in gently then keep a close eye on him/her to see if they pop out again. Is it moving around/chirping?

There is now way that chick will just suck them back in, so your two real chocies are try to get them back in yourself, or cull the chick to prevent it dying a slow painful death.

Oh nooo, hopefully she’s able to absorb it back in. As long as it’s warm and protected in its little cup then there’s not much else you can do. People have said you can put creams/hibi scrub on it to stop infection.if you can push it in then wrap a bandage around until it heals. And give it some water in a syringe.
Really hoping it works out ok. ❤

My intent is not to be rude, but please do some research before blurting out information, a lot of the advice that you have suggested would kill the chick. NEVER give water to a newborn chick, the risk of aspiration is very high.

That appears to be the yolk sac, not the intestines, although another picture of the navel area would be great. Do NOT try to push it back it, wash your hand thoroughly, and gently pick the chick up and set her in a cup lined with DRY paper towels, leave her be.

It was the intestines I picked it up and it was a long line of red and gray

Get a closer/clearer picture.

That is the yolk sac, please do what I suggested above.

Sorry hoopoethick I should have been more clear, the water comment was meant if it was going to be sat in the cup absorbing/healing for a long period of time and wasn’t in a brooder with other chicks that could injure it and didn’t have free access to water. I know they can survive on the yolk alone for a day or 2 if need be.

Not only that, but we also have to be sure what's hanging out of the chick first, if the OP were to try to push the yolk sac back in, it'd probably pop and kill the chick.

My first question was to ask if they are sure it was the intestines and not just the yolk still absorbing.
