Baby chick hatched with partially unabsorbed yolk sac? *pictures*

[Pyxis]

This is my first time hatching chicks and very first chick hatched with a problem Is this a partially unabsorbed yolk sac? If so what do I do about it?

Leave it alone keep her warm it will come off .

 

[Pyxis]

It's bleeding a little still - should I try to stop the bleeding or will it dry out on its own?

 

[thebanthams]

Is she in the heated box? if its just spotting let it dry out. how is she acting? can she get around?

 

[Pyxis]

She can walk. I have her in a little paper towel cup in the incubator - I didn't want her dragging it all over the hardware cloth. It seems to just be spotting now.

How is she doing?

 

[Pyxis]

Doing okay It has stopped bleeding and it seems to be drying up. She's now in the brooder with the other chick that hatched at the same time as her. She'll have (hopefully) two more half siblings in with her by tomorrow. She's a silkie, btw Hoping to get a showgirl out of the other two eggs. If not, my broody might have one for me in the morning.
