Hello to all the wise!!! Just had this little guy come out and it looks like he has a sex organ or abdomen deformity?! There is shell lining still attached. Blood veins in sac were absorbed and yolk completely absorbed . . . Very stressed out here . . . - thank you!!!
 
Wait it out, it may improve.
I once hatched a chick with 3 legs. One normal, one a clubfoot and another coming out of its vent. It obviously had to be put down.
If it doesn't improve over time, make the tough choice.
Thank you - looks like either a umbilical hernia or a tumor or just deformity . . .
 
Sorry about the gosling, yeah from the photos that definitely looks like a cull. Sad part of poultry-keeping but inevitable given the naturally high infant mortality rate of the animals involved.
 
That's the yolk sack so not absorbed. Did you assist this because the shell has lots of blood showing. Put into a margarine container back into the incubator and wait about 24 hours.
It had blood coming out of what appeared to be entrails that were coming out of the hole in the middle with excrement - malformed intestines with a non closed abdominal cavity I'm afraid . . . :(
