Vent?

[rianxera14]

I have a number of questions.

My chick hatch with yoke and later pulled his intestines out by walking around. I pushed the intestines back in and cut as much as possible of what was left of the yoke. I left a stub.

Does the yoke go through the vent?

The chick has pooped twice and seems content and stable.
The poops were greenish white.

I have no idea what is a normal chick poo or what is odd.

Here are some images of when he hatched and when I cut off the yoke and what I left as a "stub"

It seems very strong. It hatch last night.

It mostly wants to sleep and cuddle. I guess I'm his mama.

How do I add a clip?

Also what is normal chick behaviour for the first few days?

Here is the dry up stub. Is it going to fall off?

It looks like an umbilical hernia. The vent is just under the tail. Leave the stub. It will dry up and fall off just like a human's umbilical cord. Do not pull at it.

No , I'm not pulling at it. I was wondering if it will simply fall off. I guess the chick may get omphalitis?

I doesn't have a swollen belly, it has tried to peck. There is no bluish color.

It isn't very interested in food or water, but it isn't 24 hours old yet. It mostly wants to cuddle and chirps. Especially loudly if I'm not holding it and I put it down.

I had to push the intestine back in.

I will need some guidance as to what to watch out for and how to take care of it.

It doesn't look infected now but it may be inside.

It has pooped...two green with white, wet poops.

I've never actually experienced something like this, but I think when it comes to hatching chicks, you need to be prepared for the fact that sometimes things go wrong even if you do everything right. Newly hatched chicks can go up to 3 days without needing to eat or drink. It might be chirping a lot because it's alone. Keeping this one warm should be the top priority right now. Keep a close watch for infection, and hope that it makes it. If it still isn't showing any interest in food or water by 48 hours, you may need to dip it's beak in the water and then the food.

I have been giving it sugar water.

I'm thinking of giving it raw yoke tomorrow. It is their first food.

It seems to appreciate the water when I give it...perhaps I should add some acv in the water.

. Tonight will be the first night.
