Guts coming out of Peep.HELP

[troyrmvp]

I am hatching chickens in a styrofoam still air bator.Last night at 9:00 a chick hatched with his guts coming out of his butt.Is there anything I do.What's coming out is about 1/2 inch long and about the size of a Tootsie roll.

Is this your first hatch? Is this your first chick? Chicks have a cord that attaches them to the egg. Sometimes they don't leave it in the egg.

I have not personally had this happen but I think it's called prolapse. I don't know how to treat it but will bump the thread so you can get help!
Although, what Ondra says could be it too. Do you have a pic?

I'm so sorry this happened- I'm not sure if it's the same as what happened with me, and keep bumping for answers- I had this happen a few weeks ago and the thread is here:

I hope yours ends happier than mine did.

I had this happen on my last hatch. You could see directly into the stomach/ intestine area, but this was more on the lower tummy, not from the rectum...all I did was stick the little thing under the heat lamp, and it closed up by night time pretty much. Then the little stinker got spraddle leg, but doing great now!

here's what I did with a prolapsed vent. It's not the same, but might help?

(see my post "Help chicken's insides coming out (photo)":
"Update: After a couple of days she seemed all right, and I let her go back in with the others. She seems to be recovering quite well and I will keep an eye on her and see if this recurs.
So for anyone else in this situation, for what it is worth:
I rinsed the prolapsed area with warm water, and put honey on the area, several times, the next day washed her again and put a high quality naturopathic calendula cream on the area (gentle, for lubrication and healing), and kept her separated until she seemed better and well enough to go back in with the others. Oh and I put just a little apple cider vinegar in her drinking water. And gave her time.
Thanks for everyone's help!"

Also chicks absorb the yolk through their rear, when in the egg. Maybe he will still absorb these guts into himself if given a little time?
