Chicks hatching with yolk sac not fully absorbed

[loveourbirds]

i just have never seen what your talking about. have you calibrated your thermometer?

i have been wrong before, and there are by far better people to say what happened with your hatch. i just dont think it was a temperature spike that caused a 30 minute early hatch. were the eggs shipped?

I am wondering if it is genetics as well? I had cream legbars And belelfielders in one hatch and yolk spilt all over. I couldn't figure out who didn't absorb it - but 2 of my belelfielders are runts and not strong at all - I am suspecting it was them

It looks like a bad an inch of blood and left it in the incubator get that about six hours. I removed some of the water since it is the last one to hatch I thought the humidity level may be too high I don't want to suffocate it. If anybody has any advice about it's Tammy please let me know! Thanks 1 million

I have a chick that hatched using incubator with about 3/4 inch of yoke sack not absorbed. It dried and came off with about an 1/8 inch portion that scabbed over. Chick looks a little bloated but area around it is not firm to touch. Chick is 3 days old and is stumbling around showing no interest in food or water. Chick is constantly chirping in distress. Any insight?

Hello I had a chick hatch the exact way you described yesterday afternoon,. She is alive but stumbling around. What happened to your chick?

 

[Josef Mengele]

Died.

I am so sorry. Mine is not looking very good.

Seems like all the ones that hatch that way usually don't make it. Looks as if the area gets infected and poisons them.

I had several hatch last Friday with yolk sacks not absorbed, most of them absorbed them, but one of them hasn't absorbed all the way and now it's a week old. The sack is smaller than a marble, but very hard....she seems week and wobbly. What do I do?
