ok so i had two chicks due for today one hatched yesturday i left it in the incubator then it was getting stuck so i moved it into the brooder. this chicks looks as if it has a brown/red wire or blood vessel which i assume to be the umbilical cord? then the other chick hatched today.So i moved it with the other one this looks as if one of it feet are swollen or maybe this is just because it is tired. when i moved them together the older one was harming the younger one i left it for a bit then it turned the younger chick over and was on its back! i seperated them (they both have food and water.) My question what should i do about the weekest chick with regards to its foot and fighting. And also what should i do about both of their umbilical cords

I like everything about it except how it looks right now. I know it lays decently. It is a great part of my great waterfowl flock. -
First, watching a runner duck run is awesome. They can find their own food. They aren't like pekins in water. Mine haven't started laying but I heard their decent. -
Its not as fat and slow as a pekin, but its not frail either. I want a mallard but I don't want a flying bird. The rouen is great for that. -
They are my calmest birds and are easiest to catch. They eat less than Pekins. I heard they also lay well, but mine are younger. -
they are my favorite duck breed ever. i have heard they lay well, but i didn't list that because mine haven't started yet.
