Protruding, dry navel

[Memphreman]

Hi,
I might just be being a worry wart, but I received my first ever chicks today and one has a dry, protruding navel. Is this normal? Is there anything I can do to help her along?

Thanks

Are you sure that that isn't poop stuck to her feathers?

Leave it alone and it should heal up. If it looks like it might be getting a infection you might consider a antibiotic cream (without pain killer) and possibly a antibiotic added to water. After treatment give probotics to restore beneficial bacteria into her system.
