    Umbilical cord attached to Egg shell over 24 hours later

    I am new to hatching eggs, and yesterday, we had this baby hatch out, but it still had its yolk attached. (The other hatched days ago and had already been removed, while we were waiting to see if anything else would hatch) It's been well over 24 hours and the yolk appears to be fully absorbed...

    Came home to a Dead Hen... Not sure what happened

    Thanks for the advice. I've located the number for the State vet in Indiana. I will keep a close eye on my other girls. I'm hoping it's just a one bird scenario.
