My chick has something stuck to her butt

[LhickenChicken]

And what does the vent look like?

I think it could be COMING from the vent.

I wasnt sure so asked for other opinions. They're saying it looks like an organ prolapse. Not fixable.

Do the other chicks' umbilical areas look the same as this one?

No this one's worse.

Just so we're clear, the vent is where poop comes out and the umbilical area is where they were attached inside the egg.
You think it's actually from the vent?

Yes

Because in the picture I saw something like the vent and if it IS an organ prolapse then it has to be from the vent.

I am going to cull her, then check on the other chick.

Other chick is fine--I think it was a bit of yolk, with the umbilical cord.

I'm sorry about your chicks
Do you have photos of the other one?

I moved her to the brooder today. The thing on her butt has shriveled up now.

Sounds like she's doing better!
