Newborn with red bubble

[BobbieB7]

Hi I had a broody that’s been sitting on egg. I had one chick on Wednesday which was hatch date. I had a couple more yesterday. This morning I believe Polly Momma got up of hatching baby. It was still wet. Having a bit of problem getting up and going.
Polly

had four chicks that were busy around her. I put baby in my bra for warmth. I liked it over and she’s perfect except she has a red bump on belly. Umbilical cord ? Is there anything I can or need to do?

It's the yolk sack that's still absorbing. You can dab a little neosporin on it since you put it in your germy bra, but it's nothing to worry about.

If I had a nickel…

For what?

My bra wasn’t germs! I had just put it on before going outdoors! Pretty rude comment! You may not put a clean bra on everyday, but when I wear one it’s clean and my body is clean.
Smh
Could’ve helped me without that comment

If I had a nickel for every time I get rude comments instead of just help!
I thought this was a community for flock lovers.
Why some people take a jab at others is beyond me

Sometimes I speak before thinking about how I'm supposed to respond to a post. I'm guilty of that. It's inappropriate unknowingly or knowingly calling out personal hygiene.

Yep, very rude comment and not necessary. Chickens and broodies live in poop and dirt, so I doubt that this was really helpful.

I apologize, I wasn't trying to be rude.
There's some very serious bacteria that grows in damp places on your body, even if you bathe everyday, such as cleavage, not a good idea to put unclosed wounds there. Also ammonia and oils.
It's not dissimilar to licking it, and we all know the danger of a human bite.
That's why bra incubation fails 98% of the time.
Again, not intentionally bring rude but I'm sorry that I came off that way.

Had I known it was your first day on the internet I’d not have commented.

I thought the statement was just a funny turn of phrase, and I made a silly throwaway joke that was probably best ignored rather than responded to.

Anyway how is the chick doing this morning?
