Hey guys, I have a blue copper marans chick that made it to 21 days, hatched on its own early this morning, but the yolk sac is not fully absorbed.
The other chicks have been moved to the brooder so this one has the incubator to itself.
Just give it time? Leave it in the incubator (adjust any settings?)? Or move to its own box? Keep it damp?

Leave it in the bator alone should be fine.
If it is going to absorb it, it should absorb it within the next 24 hours. Just make absolutely sure there is nothing that it can catch that yolk sack on in the bator.

Thank you.
