Yellow blob dried to rear of chick since hatching, help needed!

[eggsrcool]

One of my chicks has a yellowish red blob which is dry stuck to the rear of the chick. What shall I do? Could it kill it? Ever since the chick hatched. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

How long has it been hatched?

 

[eggsrcool]

2 days

Any ideas?

I have the exact same problem and my one is 3 days old,
I think mine is poo though....

It is just a rough naval. Usually caused from hatching to early or humidity being too high. If it's dry, it will be alright. If it's wet, make sure it doesn't stick to the brooder or whatever the chick is in. It should already be dried if the chick is 2 days old. It should reabsorb into the body over time.

I'm not sure what it looks like, but if you look at this thread it may help a bit- if it's the umbilical problem, PM me with questions.
