chick with yolk sac not absorbed

[wlyouth05]

I have one chick that hatched with yolk sac not absorbed all the way. Still a pea sized portion of yolk sac till there. Chick is fine eating and socializing but need some advice. It is dry and just looks weird.

The chick will probably be fine, if that is just yolk sac. Sometimes, it takes several days or even a week for the entire yolk sac and scab to go away. Just make sure that the other chicks aren't pecking at it.

The others were pecking at first but not anymore. This chick was almost 24 hours later to hatch than the others. Left hum in incubator for 2 days to see if it absorbed. Pecked a little when put into brooder but fine now.

It's pretty small, so it should absorb in a few days.
