HELP CHICKS UMBILICAL CORD SCAB PULLED OFF

[Gababbay]

I’m beating myself up right now while cleaning off pasty butt, I think I took the umbilical cord scab off. What do I do?! Please help I don’t want my babies to die. Is there anything I could put on it? It’s not bleeding but I feel AWFUL.

Is this one chick or several? Do you have a picture of the area you were cleaning?

It was just one chick. She seems to be doing well, so all I can do it hope she makes it. It was her navel area.

Do you have any recommendations on what to put on it? Or just keep it cleaned and dry so it can heal?

This just happened to me for the exact same reason yesterday. I put liquid bandaid on it and the bleeding stopped, I am not sure how safe that is but the chick is still alive.

Keep it dry & clean.
