Chick just hatched, but I took her out of the incubator, seeing as something wasn’t right about her. All the others were trampling her. When I picked her up, it looked like her entire yolk sack was hanging outside of her? I set her down, and took all the rest out of the incubator and transferred them to a brooder box. Then left her in the incubator on a paper towel, and left her overnight just assuming she’d absorb the rest of it. But that DID NOT happen. The yolk Salk was just like, a heavy rock hanging off of her, so I cut it off of her and noticed she had her intestine outside of her?! I tried to clean around the area with rubbing alcohol and took some feathers off the surrounding area. I have no idea what to do bcs I can’t get them back inside of her, yet she’s still peeping and bouncing around. I just don’t know how to get them back inside her- anyone know what to do?! I really don’t wanna euthanize her… she’s a real sweetheart.

It's likely not going to heal on its own, I'm sorry. For future reference, don't cut off the yolk sack, just let it dry and fall off some the navel has time to heal.

It was just a dry black rock and it kept pulling more and more out of her. I didn’t know what to do.. Thankyou tho. Do you think she’ll grow out of it? Besides this, she seems healthy.

That sounds severe, it's not your fault that this has happened, sometimes chicks don't shut all the way and this happens. Totally not your fault
