Problem with newly-hatched chick

[QChickieMama]

Looking for advice here.

My chick hatched with a long, nasty-looking protrusion from its behind. It's dragging it all over the incubator. Looks almost like his intestines. Can that be true? If so, then what?

Ive had that happen to i think its like their ambilicle cord

So, this is NOT looking right. Looks like intestines to me. What to do??

Push it back into the opening and put some neosporin on it I had a chick from my last hatch that had the same problem I threw on a pair of gloves and gently pushed it back inside. Applied some neo and it closed up within a few hours.

Hoo boy. Didn't know I signed up for this. Haha! Here we go! I'll give it a try.

That did not work. I tried. For quite a while. No way that stuff wanted to go back inside. So, is he a goner, I'm guessing?

Dont do anything drastic they may go back in on their own

I am not sure what to tell you since they didn't go in you might have to cull the chick,I am sorry about this.
