I awoke to a newly hatched chick with an orange-colored protrusion near its vent. I’d guess it hatched within the past hour. The protrusion is the exact same color as it’s legs, irregularly shaped, appears moist and soft but not wet or runny (holds a shape).
Is this Omphalitis? A hernia?
Baby is moving around fine. Other chicks are fine. Two more eggs to go that are pipped and not yet hatched. Haven’t opened the incubator.
