Protruding butt on newly hatched quail chick! Please help

[NjQuailer]

Hey all! We just incubated our first batch of quail and had to assist this young bird during the zip stage where it became stuck. It came out with this growth or protruding on its butt. Does anyone know what this is? What can we do to assist it?

Hi… this happens when the chick hasn’t developed enough. The egg yolk and intestines haven’t absorbed into the belly… put it into a small closed but breathable container and place warm place with a tiny moist napkin. In time it will have Absorbed in a day or two…
