Wartels?

[MareeZoCool]

a friend mentioned this word last night after looking at the chick I received. She has a sore spot near her rump where the other chicks were constantly picking and pecking.
" Could be a wartle........wortel(sp) The others need to pick the worm out."

IS THERE SUCH A THING?

Is this sore located where her umbilical cord would have been? Clean with alcohol on a swab daily and lightly coat with neosporin. Blu Kote will help too to keep the others from pecking it.
Never heard of wartels (sp?) but I have about 15 chicks that I hatched out and about 1/3 of them had a red bump where the umbilical cord was attached. Keep it clean and you should be fine.
