This didn't happen today, but 2 weeks ago. I was too disgusted to post right away. I took a chick that had just hatched away from it's mom because it couldn't keep up with it's older siblings. It appeared to be sealed up well in the "umbilical cord" area. I can't be sure though. I went away for 10 hours, came home and found it in a position that looked like it was sleeping. I gently turned it over to find it's intestines coming out and small, fat, worm like creatures in them. I euthanized it using the starting fluid method. No animals had access to it. Here is a picture:
