Introduction - protruding intestine's

[Juliesflock]

Hi. I am a new chicken Momma. Just incubated my second set of chicks with success this time. I live in Kentucky.

I am here because one of my newly hatched babies have an issue. She has been like this now for 12 hours. I thought it was umbilical cord at first. I wonder if I should be pushing it back inside or cull the babe. I believe it is a protruding intestine's. Looking for confirmation.

Thanks

Welcome to BYC.
The kindest thing you can do for that poor baby is humanely euthanize her. I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry. Personally I would cull this one.

Welcome to BYC. Those are intestines and I agree with the others, the chick should be euthanized.

You'll have to Euthanize the Chick. Sorry for your loss.
