My apologies in advance for the pic everyone! How's this?

I can't tell.

I'm not sure if the chick will absorb that, or not. It has ruptured, there's yolk everywhere.

At this point I'd just watch it, if I saw your post sooner, I would have suggested removing the shell, & membrane gently off of the yolk sack, & putting the chick in a small cup, or container lined with a paper towel overnight to allow absorption of the yolk.

@jckeezy, Any updates on the chick with unabsorbed yolk?

If you want to see how my project Wheaten Crele Orpingtons are looking, I'll post some pictures? Will be hatching a small batch this year.

The poor little thing passed away last night . The last egg still hasn't done anything, so I believe my final count is one.

I had the feeling it might. Sorry for your loss.

Cute chick. Does it have a companion?

Looks like possibly a cockerel. Won't know till it grows juvenile plumage. Cute partridge coloration.

I have a bunch of Silkie and Frizzle Cochin Bantam chicks in the brooder with it at the moment. They'll be gone over the next two days though... I buyers for them. More will be hatching daily though, so it won't be lonely for long.

Okay, that's good.

If anyone has any chicken related questions, feel free to ask?

@MysteryChicken I believe I was wrong about your bantam hens being booted bantams- I didn’t realize that breed is actually not available from most hatcheries. I take back what I said, I think you’re right about them being hatchery quality d’uccles.

It's okay.
