   Quote:Not a stupid question. The vent is below the tail behind the chick. The navel is under the chick, yes about an inch in front of the vent (although I never measured) yes to red and protruding a bit. I've read it is called the stump. Are you having a problem?
   
   Imp-It's been a long time since I've had chicks.
