I'm so sorry but that looks like intestines you can cull it if you're up for that otherwise it will most likely pass soon. So sorry ❤

I don't think I have the stomach to cull it, but just for the information, how do you cull chicks? I don't even know.

I've always used the co2 method.

Poor thing, I do agree it looks like intestines and would be best to cull.

Here’s an article on culling chicks.-

Just take a pair of scissors and cut its head off.
It is definitely not an easy thing to do but it's better than watching the chick suffer and die slowly.

You can wrap it in a paper towel and put it in a ziploc bag with its head towards the corner of the back... That way you don't have to look at it...and cut.
