Duckling hatched early

[shelby hayden]

1. I know this thread is old but I am looking for some advice. One of my duckling's hatched to early I wrapped the baby in warm paper towels after placing the baby back into the bottom shell. The yolk has asorbed and the duckling is up walking around. But his or her belly button looks to be an outie it is definitely not as bad as the first picture in this thread. Should I allow the baby to brood or keep it in the Bator. I will try and post a picture.

Your duckling will be very much fine! When mine hatched the same thing happened. But in a day or so he/she will even out and absorb the yolk a little more!! Congrats on your hatch!!!

Thank you. The baby is up and running with its little flock right now doing great.
