EMERGENCY - chick born with a yolk sack - it burst, is there any way to help?

[Stipenvlerk]

They do seem a lot more lively, they also arent bleeding, they just have those two things attached to them which is why I have been keeping them still unless they themselves move

No i did not help it get out of the shell, it was pratically out and while i did pick it up to see if it needed help, i put it back down once i saw the sack, now the nest is covered in blood and the yolk, the chick is very weak, is there any way to help it recover or is that just a sure death?

Based on the first message ( see above) you wrote the nest is covered in blood... That's why I said it

Yes, the nest was covered in blood but they are not bleeding anymore, right now they are trying to walk and stand up

Sorry I've got no advice other than to just leave it alone.

You say that the bleeding stopped, and your chick is trying to walk around. I think there’s a good chance for him/her to be okay now. Continue to update us.

Update- it is now 11:21 pm, the chick is still alive and under their mom, they're way smaller than the rest (probably born prematurely as i had thought) tomorrow morning ill give another update

Thank you very much for the update. I’m glad to know that the chick is doing better. ❤ As long as the mother is keeping the chick warm and safe, then it has a good chance. Just monitor to make sure that it isn’t being pushed out of the nest or getting trampled. If that’s the case, sharing a brooder box with a sibling would be safest for the chick (since this particular chick is smaller, weaker, and had a rough start) This is ONLY my opinion…. I’m not one for taking chances though. Have a great night!

Sadly the chick passed away this morning but the other ones are all doing fine, they were pratically all born at least 1 day apart, (one has been born for 4 days!) And we had to take the younger chicks in with us til theyre stronger

I'm sorry for your loss
