Emu emergency

[5kfarms233]

I don't know if it is an emergency, but I'm concerned. A fresh hatch less than a day has a huge stomach, all my other hatches didn't so I'm not sure. Is it bloat or is egg yolk? Any help or suggestions would be helpful.

Can you get pictures?

Maybe try candling his stomach?

Picture will help a lot in this situation.

Here are some pictures kind of hard to tell but you can kind of see the bulge in the stomach.

That doesn’t look too too concerning. Could just be a last minute absorption of the yolk and could have had a lot of yolk left. But wouldn’t hurt to keep a close eye on it.

K thanks. Was worried becasue the emu before died in its shell with the yolk sack not absorbed so was just concerned something was wrong with incubator or the egg batch.
