Something on belly button?

[gobukk]

Hello all,

This chick was born with this one attached on its belly button. It is eating and drinking well, gets along with its siblings who were born 2.5 days earlier. This one hatched on day 21 and it is now 5 days old. Should I do something about it or will it go away later by itself?

Thank you so much in advance!

One of my chicks had a lump where she was attached to her egg bc her two hour old brothers picked at it and pulled something out when she hatched. It did end up falling off on its own when she was 10 days old. I can't tell from the picture if that is the same thing or not. Pedro's started as a bloody lump and then turned black and then fell off. I was so happy when it came off, as her brothers were constantly going after the injury, so I had to keep her separated. Best of luck with your chick!
