OK i must be DUMB i was in the chicken coop and noticed a hen knocked out an egg so i picked it up to put under her while doing that mister bad A$$ the rooster came charging in ready to attack i dropped the egg on accident in my attempt to flee the rooster! well the egg broke and there was a chicken in there i had no idea it would even be that far along i picked it up brought it inside and put it in a brooder its peeping still curled up but stretches every once in a while his umbilical cord was detached i think in the dropping and falling out process it was bleeding but has since stopped i need to go check again iam not for sure how old this chick is but his belly where the umbilical cord was attached is rather round i am not sure if that is normal? as i have never encountered this problem and since i have no idea how far along he was he does have some feathers but iam not sure what to do any ideas suggestions thanks!!
