first chick to hatch in my classroom and a student noticed some blood at the back end. When I picked it up I noticed that it looked more like intestines on the outside...any suggestions on how to deal???

Thanks fr the earlier posts

it just hatched a few hours ago. From what i was able to find, it doesn't sound like there are many options. We are by Cornell so we took it to the vet school there

I'm sorry to hear that. I usually cull if I see a prolapse issue. If it's a pullet, she will have issues laying eggs as an adult, I'm sure.

How old is the chick? Could it have Coccidia? If so, you'll want to treat with sulfites. Has it's butt been pasty before you noticed the prolapse? What does it's poop look like?
