That's a big opening, and even if it would close, it would likely die of infection. I would put it down.

Are you referring to the belly button ?
If so, a q-tip slathered in vaseline & you may be able to push/twirl and gently push the outy back in.
Sometimes it will pop back out & will die from infection as Clover said.

I thought I had remembered you talking about the vaseline so I tried that but to no avail. As soon as it would cheep, everything would partially bulge putting stress on the opening.
This chick pipped low but came along and made it out so I thought it would make it. Then it rolled onto it's back and I saw the hole. Poor thing!

Hey everyone, I'm new to the forum. My wife and I live north of Snohomish. We are raising chickens, turkeys, a couple goats, and live with some cats and dogs. We've had a subscription to BYC for quiet a while, but we are becoming very interested in what people in other places are doing with their small farms.

Several hours later and you noticed.

I planted them, they're the slowest growing of all my nightshades, but coming along. I think they must be demanding more heat or something, because since I moved most of the plants out to the greenhouse, the younger ones, such as the Tomatillos, are needing to wait in the now unheated room until they've got bigger pots to go into out in the greenhouse.


I've got tomatoes, peppers, and now, finally, my melons are flowering though. They're so freaky tiny though

I've NO experience growing my own melons but I do have plenty in Squash, so I'm honestly wondering how small melon flowers are supposed to be, because these are just hauntingly small - Too small for me to pollinate with ease.



I can tell the gender of my newborns because they're Cuckoo Araucanas, thus the white dot from barring tells me male vs female. I now have two girls, no boys, and still more eggs hatching out tonight.
