    HELP! Chick with yolk sac still attached??

    Please help! This chick hatched this morning, having not absorbed all of its yolk. I did my best to push what I could back into its navel, ligated and cut the rest off.

    Blood Line in Egg?

    I am trying to hatch a few eggs from my backyard flock, and noticed that these two eggs look different from the others. Is this what they call a blood line? And if so, how long should I try to wait before taking them out of the incubator? I don't want to risk harming the others. Thank you!
