Finally having my first proper hatch along! Astronomy theme 🪐✨

Perhaps it's the egg sac? I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Ursa. Come on chick!! You can do this!!

It looks like a herniated navel, with umbilical cord still attached
I’ve never dealt with this before but based on what I saw I don’t want to give myself false hope

Can you share a picture when you get the chance? One of our recent hatch had a little pink bump on her belly. I did a quick Google and it suggested it could be the egg sac. Couple of hours later, the bump had vanished and she is still doing well in the brooder. I'm holding out hope for your baby chick!!!

It had orange swelling fluid coming out, looked ruptured, if she’s still alive tomorrow I’ll take a picture

That doesn't sound good. Let's see what tomorrow brings.

Sometimes the umbilical cord doesn't detach correctly. Keep her separate from the others but under heat. Apply iodine to the skin around the cord where it enters the body, once a day for a few days. It will fall off when it's ready. Don't mess with it. Keep us posted!
