Injured Chick

[LilJoe]

Sorry it's not a good pic...but.... can you see the little hole in his behind?
He acts fine...just cries...
What happened?

 

[LilJoe]

I haven't seen anything like this.... do you think it was his Umbilical cord that ripped off???

It could be that. Usually there is a little scab there, and it sometimes is still present when they are just out of the incubator. I would dab on some iodine, alcohol, or plain neosporin daily until it heals.

Thank you Excessive!

 

[LilJoe]

Its also bald there and all the fluff is scattered in the incubator....what caused that?

 

[LilJoe]
