Help Quick!!!!! Newborn chick

[kimmom]

It was born with umbilical hernia?? I just went to check them and its claws were tangled in mama hens feet, and its whole intestine was coming out!! Can I do anything to help it??

 

[kimmom]

Its still breathing but weak, I am holding her in a wrapped up cloth

My kids are so upset and so am I, this is our first time with chicks!

I hate to say this but if it were my chick it would get culled.

I haven't had to deal with that situation but it isn't a simple thing to fix if other threads on here are any indication the chick will not last long.

It is almost dead I think, barely breathing, kids want to bury it

Is it in pain/do we need to do something to help it die or will it slip away quickly?
