What is this thing?

[cressalynn]

It's soft but almost scabbing at the edge... It's red and bulgy

It's the yolk sack area. Don't pick at it or it's intestines will fall out and it will die.

Can I do anything to help it? Will it be ok?

Let it dry out and just leave it alone.

It will probably be ok. Not every chick lives a long life, but it could have a chance.
