Help! Baby chick just born got stepped on by her mom

[Christi326]

This baby was born today, Her mom got up and stepped on her. This liquid is coming out of her and it has veins in it. Is there anything I can do or is this her insides leaking out and there is no hope? I have her in an incubator so I can try to help her. .

Sorry you're not getting an answer so far. Is the chick moving at all? If not, it probably didn't make it. So sorry this happened.

I'm sorry too. It looks like a ruptured yolk sac and I'm not sure the prognosis is good when this happens. Keep it warm and dry.

Was the it okay before the mom stepped on it or was the yolk coming out of it already? It kinda looks like it wasnt fully developed when it hatched, which may be why the hen didnt care about stepping on it.

It had just hatched the mom didnt mean to step on it she stood up when my daughter walked over to check on her and didnt realize she stepped on the baby. As soon as it happened my daughter got the mom off of her and the mom picked it up and threw it in the nest but with that hanging out of it my daughter got her and brought her inside. She is still alive and peeping and breathing but I think it has sticky chick as well
