My ducklings hatched today, and this one had a yolk sac thing. It’s breathing is fine and I heard it chirp a couple times. I also was putting water near the broody hen and I spilled water. 🤦‍♀️ Will it live? I really hope it does because it’s from a duck that died. 🙁

YOU NEED TO BRING IT INSIDE! Don't worry about imprinting right now, if you want it to live a incubator is the only way. Lying in the cold on the dirt will kill that baby!
 
I have it in my incubator now, do I just wait for the yolk to absorb or do I have to do anything special? Also when I put it back I just slip it under the broody at nighttime, right?
