Wow, quiet day here.

Please help! One chick has possible unabsorbed yolk, and stuff hanging out of her rear. She seems a little weak too. I just got home from work, so I’m not sure how long she has been like this. I did see her poop though.

Spoiler: Gross chicks butt

Put her in a cup with a damp paper towel (to keep her from sticking to anything).

The yolk isn’t a body part. I know we all think of it as one, but it is simply a meal that lasts for about three days. No yolk means s/he will be hungry sooner.

Thank you, will do!

I think she has had a ruptured yolk sack. I have her in a dish, and I will put neosporin on her bum.

When was the last time you guys watched “Robin Hood:Men In Tights”?

Should I ship the excess tomorrow? Or tie it off? Or let it dry and separate naturally?
