[FlightsofFancy]

Help! Silkie chick hatched yesterday, looking great. Just started leaking yolk fluid from area between vent and leg. What do I do? Is this serious?

wait a little bit before bumping it up. Let me research it for you and see if I can find anything. Patience grasshopper. patience

is it leaking right out of her vent? Could be what she did not eat maybe?

 

[Stormhorse23]

Ok. Is her abdomen swollen? Ruptured yolk sac, possibly? I don't know very much about this, though. Or what causes it.

 

[FlightsofFancy]

Another chick in the hatch has not absorbed the yolk sack and has a large abdomen, but this silkie looked normal. It is not the navel or vent. It looks like a puncture from another chicks egg tooth on the area between the vent and leg.

I'd just clean it up and leave it alone. Im sure it will be alright.

If there's no blood then I bet it will be ok. Keep a close watch, see if eats and drinks. So many unusual things can happen to babies that come out of eggs!
