    Unabsorbed yolk sac (?)

    Good afternoon all! I have a ~2week old pullet that has this hard blob stuck to her bottom. At first, I thought maybe pasty butt (I’m a newb), but her vent is clean. A friend mentioned the yolk sack may not have absorbed all the way. Should I be doing anything with it? I tried to remove it when...
