Prolapsed rectum in new born chick?

[Jessimom]

Hi, my chick was hatched with an unabsorbed yolk sak and this red/purple bubble at it's butt. What is this and do I treat it with
Preparation H? Thank you!!

I've seen people put newborn ducks in a small cup so they don't move too much until their yolk sack is absorbed. Best of luck! Please let me know how it goes?

We couldn't push it's insides back in and it died peacefully.

That's not the insides, that is an unabsorbed yolk sac. The chick hatched prematurely.

There isn't much that can be done for chicks like that. Best chance would have been to put the chick in a small bowl or cup to limit its movement until the yolk was absorbed. Even the slightest jostling can rupture the yolk causing certain death.
It's sad, but just part of the whole hatching chicks process. You will loose a few, even if you do everything right.
