Hello everyone! First time Hatcher here. I have a variety of different eggs in two different incubators. Hatch day was supposed to be tomorrow, but one mini easter egger has hatched and the other two minis have pipped.
The hatched one seems to be up and moving around okay, but I noticed its vent is very red and swollen, is this normal or a prolapsed vent? Do I need to intervene or let nature take its course?

-Sincerely, a worried new hatcher whose mentor isn’t replying fast enough lol

It's hard to tell, is that the vent or the navel?

If it's the navel, once they start moving around, often it will close up on it's own.
