Oh, I have Polysporin on it now, so I guess that isn't helping to dry it off, eh?

[3Dchicken]

iodine or mercurachrome

I don't know what mercurachrome is...?

it looks like you got carried away with the ointment.its all over the feathers. make sure you dont have it out long as it will freeze - its feathers cant fluff up.

Will they eventually fluff up, or will she be forever fluff-less?

I got feather pictures! They did not enjoy getting their wings touched!

hope! dont let her at them!! LOL just guard them!

Yes! She is my guard chicken!

I don't know what mercurachrome is...?

Merbromin (marketed as Mercurochrome, Merbromine, Sodium mercurescein, Asceptichrome, Supercrome, Brocasept and Cinfacromin) is a topical antiseptic used for minor cuts and scrapes. Merbromin is an organomercuric disodium salt compound and a fluorescein. It is readily available in most countries, but because of its mercury content, it is no longer sold in the United States, Germany, or France.[citation needed]
It was known throughout the Southern United States as "monkey blood."

Thats why you cant find it here. good stuff though

Below is a Zoo Aviary Procedure for assisted hatch Umbilicus care
typically they dont hatch like this unless assisted in some way.


External Umbilicus
Occasionally a chick hatches with an external umbilicus. This umbilicus can
vary in length from 1 to 3 centimetres, and appears very ‘meaty’. Usually the
umbilicus will become black in colour, shrivel up and drop off. Generously
cover the umbilicus with Betadine cream, to protect the area from infection,
and leave it. Close monitoring will be required. Any sign of redness or infection
will require the chick to been seen by a veterinarian, and likely a course of
antibiotics will be prescribed. It may be possible to internalise the
umbilicus before the ring of abdominal muscle will close the navel area. There
is only a small window of time to complete this post hatch, (~20 minutes).
Gentle pressures with a cotton bud soaked in Betadine cream,
and gently poke the umbilicus back into place. Make sure the umbilicus
is clean before commencing the procedure.

Chicks that have had an assisted hatch or external yolk will need careful
monitoring for the next three weeks in case of additional yolk sac problems, or
umbilical/naval stalk infections.
