Yes it should fall off on it's own.

Ok just been keeping an eye to make sure no one pulls on it. Lol

Hopefully in the next day or 2 it should fall off. good thing it's on the under side of the body instead of the top or it would have probably already been pulled off. lol

You aren't kidding. When I have to help birds out of the shell, and the yolk sac still needs to detach, I use my forceps and suture thread and tie off just like you would delivering a human baby and clamping and cutting the umbilicus. I then use some gentle iodine or a tiny bit of terramycin around it to keep it clean and it works very well for me and the baby. I would do the same for other forms of livestock as well. It is all the same concept. I have just always done more meticulous work on the tiny animals than I have had to on the larger ones. And humans. You can also use sewing thread that is kept clean and dust free. White is preferable. or the invisible stuff. The other ties and knots better. I have never lost a little newborn patient, Thank Abba!

The cord will come off, most definitely. That is common. Some come off cleaner than others. My husband calls me the neonatal egg C-section expert. He and my son watch in amazement. It cracks me up. Have any of you ever noticed all the bickering the babies do when they have to stay in the incu to dry off? Mercy! Mine hate it. I had to come up with another way for the real argumentative new arrivals. You guy are going to start thinking I am nuts! Some of you already know.

I could be prejudicial there, however, because on my father's side we are out of British stock.

Oh yeah...if it is already separated from the yolk sac, don't thread off and clip. Not necessary.

My RG you have written a book.

I would love to see you working on a tiny new hatchling. you have to have a steady hand for that kind of work. I've never had any hatchlings in a bator, although I had a new hatched Muscovy a couple years ago, my first time ever since I have always relied on Mama duck to take care of everything but she didn't want this duckling so I raised him, Thank Abba as you have stated, [I love that Name by the way] Only thing he had going was she had pecked him in the head a couple of times and he had some minor cuts other wise was a healthy baby. I did watch 2 of out newest ducklings not quite 2 weeks old sparing this afternoon, it was so cute.

All the years of growing up with Doctors, nurses, and medics in the family didn't hurt. We are all lovers of medicine. My mother and I are big into medical and veterinary medicine. We love animals and would never dream of charging a penny for what we do. Labor of love. Abba is Hebrew for Father. Since He is our Father, I like the more intimate, childlike usage of Abba or Avi. The Lord's Prayer that Yeshua taught was not new. It is known as the Avinu(Our Father) in Hebrew. It was 102 degrees today. HEEEEEELPPPPP! I'm melting!!!!!!!!!!!!
