Our first ever day old chicks arrived and are settling in nicely, however, I mistook one having stool stuck to her down for what I believe was her umbilical site. It began to bleed a little, and I’d just like some reassurance/little advice if I should be more concerned with this. Seems to be moving, eating and drinking fine. Just a little red and irritated where the area became exposed.
She’s 2-3 days old, Rhode Island Red chick. I’ve applied some natural calendula-beeswax healing ointment to the site where it bled a little. Area has been wiped clean and ointment reapplied during the day.
