Ducklings still have cords and round bellies!!!

[ducklover15]

I had 4 call ducklings hatch out today. 2 are doing amazing and the other 2 sleep much more and seem to be slow.

I looked at their bellies and their cords are still hanging out and their bellies are round and out. What do I do???

Sounds normal to me, I wouldn't worry. they're exhausted, hatching is tough work. Keep the cords dry and don't tug at them and they will dry up just fine. Good luck!
