Duckling born with yolk not absorbed!

[Miss Cheep]

My ducklings hatched today, and this one had a yolk sac thing. It’s breathing is fine and I heard it chirp a couple times. I also was putting water near the broody hen and I spilled water. Will it live? I really hope it does because it’s from a duck that died.

Can you bring it inside and put it in an incubator?

I wouldn't want to take it away from it's mother, what if it imprinted on me? There has to be another way.

If you leave it laying wherever it is now it will probably die.

Can you bring it inside knowing that?

If I brought it inside, what would I do with it after that?

YOU NEED TO BRING IT INSIDE! Don't worry about imprinting right now, if you want it to live a incubator is the only way. Lying in the cold on the dirt will kill that baby!

Its a hundred degrees outside, the same temperature it would be in a incubator.

Edit: I'm setting the incubator up now.

 

[Miss Cheep]

The temperature is normal incubating temperature, right?

I have it in my incubator now, do I just wait for the yolk to absorb or do I have to do anything special? Also when I put it back I just slip it under the broody at nighttime, right?
