I currently have it in the brooder so I'm worried because it seems to be drying out and sticking to the paper towel a little. I still can't tell what's hanging out of its naval but I'm kind of worried that if it sticks to the paper towel the chick will try to move and yank more stuff out of the naval? makes me sick thinking about it but I have no idea what to do.
Oh dear, ok you definitely don't want it drying to the paper towel because your concerns are warranted and possible. The moist environment of the Incubator will sometimes allow enough time for the chick to finish absorbing the yolk sac but not if it's drying. Does the navel look like it sealed around the exposed bits or like it's still open?
