It’s the umbilicus and don’t pick at it. You can gently clean it. Put some salve on it and keep the little chick warm and hydrated with a little bit of chick food or even scrambled egg.

Oh great. The other chick seems to have a softer abdomen, but just wanted to make sure it wasn’t something infectious and that he/she needed to be separated.

I would separate her if the other birds are picking at it because then you’ll have a dead bird by morning or so

From what i can see, it kinda looks like a Mushy Hatchling. If it is this Case, put Iodine on the Abdomen. And maybe give It some Electrolytes (I recommend Rooster Booster) Theres a small chance it will Survive, Though. This might be a Helpful Resource: https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/mushy-chick-disease-yolk-sack-infection-omphalitis.64686/ Although, Its also a Big Chance its probably not. Because Mushy Hatchlings would only survive around 2 - 3 days after Hatch, I'm just going off Experience and what I See. So, I'm not 100% But, it Could be

You can also try putting some water in some chick feed, not much. Just a bit, If she/he is not eating or drinking. You could also try that, if she/he eats that
