did you hatch it out and if it just came out of the egg maybe its the intestents my uncle had this happen to one of his chicks no its not contagious its just a defect im sorry but like my uncles it looked exactly the same and yes it died so im sorry and if it lives im very very happy for you and your baby
she was only 5 days old, and nope she was not vent sexed but i do think it was prolapse. she kept picking it off, untill i push the rest back it but it was too late, too much damage.
