Hi everyone,
I'm beyond devastated right now. This is my first time hatching chicks and everything i researched said this was an umbilical cord, leave it and it will fall off. 3 days later it fell off, my chick is happy, eating, drinking, pooping, chirping, playing with the other chicks then today while cleaning out the brooder i noticed puss coming from it's back end. I checked it out and it's vent is clear but the puss is coming from a little piece of the cord that is still attached. Please tell me i don't have to cull this sweet baby. It's acting 100% normal, except for the odd peck to its behind. any advice would be helpful
