Newly hatched with ambilical cord out

[Chicomommy]

Youre welcome...thats what we r here for, just trying to get the attention of more experienced hatchers. I think youre doing the best so far

Other post indicated the abdomen didn’t close. They haven’t had luck with chick surviving. If anyone has luck or idea on what to do please let me know.

My neighbor helped me put the intestines back in and we superglued the belly closed. Chick is moving around. Now it’s a waiting game. He sure is a cute little guy.
