Is this a yolk sack or intestines or both?

[cynthial]

This baby started pipping just this AM and sadly by mid afternoon the mom hen decided to step all over the egg cracking the shell. I got to her before she killed the chick but it appears some damage was done? I am not sure what is hanging out if it’s bum. Is it just the yolk sac or more? Any advice would be appreciated.

That is most definitely an unabsorbed yolk sack.

Highly likely this baby does not survive.
The best chances for it to survive or to keep it alone and in a flat clean area where There is zero chance that yolks that gets caught on something....and wait. Time.

The white...not sure what that is.

X2. Time is the key, as Kiki said.

@casportpony What's this white stuff?

Is it poop?

Is it poop?

Is it possible it's the remnants of the egg membrane?

Looks to me like it's the inner membrane??
That chick is most likely not going to survive.

I wonder if chicks with yolk sacs not absorbed ever live?
