This baby hatched and its belly looks so weird to me, I never saw the others this fresh, so maybe it’s normal and I just don’t know?
I’ll attach photos below

Was this an assisted hatch?

The navel has not closed. I would apply some Bacitracin or Triple antibiotic ointment to the navel. Place a shallow coffee or tea cup in the incubator, line it with a clean paper towel. Put the chick in the coffee cup. Leave her in the cup for about 8-12 hours, see if the navel shrinks up and heals over. She may twist, turn, push, peep and carry on while in the cup, that's normal.

Sometimes a little one like this may not make it, but hopefully she will. Keep us posted.
