Hi Jen! Welcome to BYC!
It's very easy to mistake the umbilical cord for dried poo, I've done it myself a time or two. (Antibiotic ointment has been a real lifesaver!) They seem to heal up quickly. How's your chick doing today? :)

Hi!
Thanks for asking and for the reassurance. She seems to be doing fine. I've been putting some neosporin on it a couple times a day and trying to keep it clean from poop (hard as it's right below her vent). I have her separated from the others - in a clear small tote - so they see each other...I was worried as I saw a couple of the others try and peck at her little bulge - so didn't want that to get too out of hand. I had read somewhere that as they feather out - it will heal/get covered up? Right now it just appears as this dark red little bulge - about the size of a small pea. Does this sound alright/familiar to you?
