Like I said earlier..the other chicks are attracted to the red/orange bump, they will peck at it. It isn't because they don't like the chick at this young age. Once it's dropped off, or the fluff fills in over it, they will leave it alone. Doing the right thing putting chick in with the others for a bit so they know it. Keeping them apart for awhile will cause them to see it differently. Good luck. Time is all they need.
I don't think the area is red anymore. The chick should also be good, & fluffy by now.Like I said earlier..the other chicks are attracted to the red/orange bump, they will peck at it.

Iv separated chicks and ducklings a few times like this then once the problem area is completely healed put them together more everyday untill they are getting along well which normally takes about a week but it verys depending on the situation and strength progression of the problem bird.
I'm gonna trim it in a day or so ,once all the blood is withdrawn,as there is still some pink suggesting blood flow in which case I would u like hate to trim it and have baby bleed out .I guess, I haven't had any issue with chicks like this. But it's good to know if there ever is an issue!
I think we r all appreciative of your input and experience, thanks!

Or maybe put some mesh between them, hey great thoughts!
Just trim the stringy thing hanging from abdomen up to scab not the big scab on abdomen. Leave big scab alone let it heal on its own. From looking at pic from days ago cord was dried up then.
I ended up.leaving it alone and it all fell off without having to trim any of it and the chick now named Darwin has graduated to being with its siblings 24/7 after about a week of monitored time with them ,there are no problems they are all healthy and happy together finally
They are doing great
Keep us updated! And any new photos too!
thanks everyone for all the support!
