Help! What is this?

[Somshine]

Okay so this one hatched later with green goo in the egg and what I believe to be the yolk sac still hanging out. No blood and the others had be removed. So I left it in there. The yellow is gone and the sac looks empty and sticky looks like it was bleeding overnight there's a lot of dried blood in there but I don't see any fresh blood. Can I tie the sack off or is they're a way to remove it? It seems to be a little more tired than the rest but other than that acting normal. It feels like maybe the white or yolk dries all over it.

What should I do?

Most likely end up with a naval infection and dying slowly (commonly known as mushy chick syndrome).. culling may be the kindest thing.

Yes, that's supposed to be on the inside.

Sharp scissors, stretch the neck taught, and close firmly.. usually cervical dislocation is instant.. sometime the head comes off.. but usually stays attached.. some flailing otherwise known as the death trow will happen soon after and is not an indicator of live suffering.

Also including my favorite hatching resource which has cause for embryonic failure and other hatch anomalies seen starting around page 50..

ETA: the description of green goo is the part that's concerning to me and indicative of possible infection.. not just an unabsorbed yolk.

I'd cut it's head off and end its suffering quickly.

Oh ok. Everybody else was normal thank goodness.

That's good news and helps immensely to determine possible causes.. at least that it was more likely an individual egg issue more than your entire incubation parameters.

Sorry for that little one.

Congrats on your other babies!

Is what's hanging out supposed to be inside?

Is what's hanging out supposed to be inside?

It appears so, yes.

I was just reading a thread on a duck looks like it's got the same thing going on. This is what it looked like when it first came out

Poor thing was NOT ready to hatch.

Oh also it looked like it had some sort of water or fluid bubble on the side of its neck. Don't see that anymore. Maybe it would be best to cull.

I'm thinking maybe I shouldn't try to hatch these anymore. They've been my problem eggs both times.

Egg selection definitely matters, and I think you might be onto something!

Check out the link I included.. it's informative.

ETA: alternatively you could try incubating only those with some adjusted parameters to meet their needs.. lower humidity, (dry incubation), etc. See if there is any change in outcome.

All good signs!
