Umbilical cord on chick or what?

[GoldpartridgeHen]

Hello this chick hatched today and has a weird looking thing attached where its belly button should be

Is it the umbilical cord, and if it isn't should I be worried?

Thanks

Looks like the intestine. Might have to cull him. It’ll probably get infected too

Any way I can put it back in with the help of antibiotics?

Garlic, honey, ginger maybe?

They are good natural antibiotics

I’m sorry, I don’t think so.

I'm so sorry but this is not normal. The chick must be culled in order to prevent suffering..
