I am ending my hatch right now with just 5 eggs left. all pipped. I went out to the store and came home to loud crying in the incubator I opened it to see 3 new chicks. I went to pick them up, still mostly wet and wobbly legged (and yes I take chicks out to fluff after a few hours). But I noticed a large amount of blood in the incubator and the chick crying had this hanging out of him. I've been able to push the tissue back up in chicks before. This just looks different to me and I think his "belly button" is closing up already. I'm not sure if there is anything I can do or should do. I have him in the incubator right now in a clean tupper ware container with a wet paper towel to keep it from drying up. Please if anyone knows what is going on or if there's anything to be done for the chick?
Should I try pushing it back up in him? is it just the yolk sac? I've never had a chick with an unabsorded yolk sac. But from what I can see online those are all yellowish in color and this is just pink and red.
