In that pic it doesn’t look like yolk
As yolk is yellow
They looks kinda pink with skin ?

It looks like skin not egg yolk

Hopefully others jump in that may have seen this before
I haven’t myself but this is a good post for learning

I've never seen anything quite like that so I'll leave this to the experts.
Another hatcher is @HollowOfWisps
@FunnyfarmMidwest
it being a holiday many members aren't on it looks like.

It's hard to tell from the picture, but is it attached where the umbilical cord would be at the navel?

 

[BitsyDUCK]

Ok better pics

He is under the heat plate now..... I had to take him out...

 

[HollowOfWisps]

Is it going down at all? If it's not I would lean toward an umbilical cord hernia.

I think so??

Try to keep him dry and on something soft and clean, and hopefully it will continue to absorb. You can use a little Vaseline or antibiotic ointment if it seems like it’s sticking to the towel, but not necessary.
I would keep the other one away from it until it draws in a bit too, because the other duckling is likely to nibble on it.

Ok..... I will keep you updated.... hopefully my other eggs will hatch after messing around with the incubator so much..... no zipping just external piping.... so maybe they weren't affected
