Yolk? Hernia? Safe to cut?

Different chick same problem. Now umbilical area is all sealed up. It is internal instestines and stuff, but must be caught during hatch before it dries! Q-tipped it back into the body, held firmly and bandaid. Try not to use too big or too small of bandaid. Will be hard to take off after 24-48hrs and baby chick can suffer from it. Constantly check baby chick for poop that may not pass bandaid if bandaid is too big. Allow baby chick to dry and eat like any other new hatch chick. When bandaiding, keep in mind mobility of baby chick and bandaid accordingly.

What I observed with this chick was it was pushing too hard and ended forcing its internal intestines to push out in its not completely sealed umbilical hole. A lot of ppl say they are bound to die, but was able to save this one. Hope this will help many. Sorry didnt have bandaid picture as I wasnt anticipating survival.

Wish I read this this morning. I didn’t dare touch it and now it’s dried. Afraid my little one is destined to die and not sure how to respond.
