Ok,here try this:


I imagine it's like an intestens infection or a puncture woud.

glad you have joined us.

That could be the belly button. If it is not inflamed or looking infected, leave it alone and just watch it.

I think that is the belly button, if it is not red, oozing or looking infected. Leave it alone so you don't cause an injury and just watch the chick to make sure she is eating, drinking, pooping and scratching.

Sorry for the double post, looked like the first didn't save

She seems fine! She seems happy but the bulge is still there

 

[Halp]

It doesn't look red or infected.(My understanding of an infection is red skin,ooze and skin dying.)So it should be alright.

@Halp likely she has a umbilical hernia and as long as she is acting healthy she should be fine.

She is chirping and running around and generaly seems good.
