Just hatched chick with red swollen belly? What is it?

[yellowflower]

I've never had this happen before. These are EE eggs. It's swollen and red. Is this the egg yolk? Will this work itself out? I will try and get a picture.
Thanks!

I forgot to say it's protruding. Doesn't look good. Here's a picture. Does this chick need to be culled?

Anyone?

Did this baby hatch on its own? I would wait a little bit, but I think I would lean towards culling.

It almost did. It was zipping and then stopped for a long time so I just broke the shell a little for it and it got itself out. But seeing the belly I don't think it could move to finish zipping. Now it has something coming out of the red swelling, like a tube....intestines? I'm going to cull it. It is cheeping but it has it's head curled down and doesn't try to move it up. This is the first chick to cull in several yrs. Not fun. thanks for responding.

Very sorry I think you are making the right decision based on its behavior. So sad

I did it right away. I don't feel too bad, it was not going to get better or thrive. Thankyou for your support.
