Day old chick, intestine hanging

[foxy207]

Hello, I've just bought Day old chicks from a local farm, one of them (the smallest one) appears to have a black tumour like hanging from above the vent,

I assume this is the Navel, and just above that where it's attached the intestine looks like it's showing and is getting worse (showing more)

What can I do about this, as I imagine it's very sore?

The chick seems to be eating and drinking well, so that's one good sign

TIA for the help.

Picture is attached below.

return to the local place you bought it from and they should replace it. They usually let you keep the sick one as well.

Thanks for the reply. The local place was closed and unfortunately is around 50 miles to drive anyways. Shortly after this the chick was in with the other chicks, they picked around at it's bottom without me knowing as soon as I realized this, I took it out and separated them, keeping good checks on the chick (it was chirping non stop which led to the whole insides eventually falling out) I called up the Emergency vet and they told me £150 to see the chick and then cost for anything else after that. We had to euthanize the chick.

I'll attach photos of how bad it got ( this is not at the worst point D: )
