hatched chick and yolk

[chickenhawk1]

I have a chick that just hatched but the yolk hasn't been totally absorbed into the abdomen. Is there anything I can do for it? Thank you for your help!

Keep him by itself so no one pecks at it. Is the chick out of the incubator? Is it acting ok?

He is acting ok, don't have any other chicks in with him. He is still in incubator. He hasn't been out of the shell very long.

How much yolk is exposed?

 

[chickenhawk1]

about 1/2 an inch.

Put it by itself and try to keep its belly clear of anything that could snag the sac. It will dry up and fall off kinda like a belly button but you have to protect him from the other chicks and snags.

Hopfully it won't leak and it can absorb the yolk. This happend to me last month here is mine. But the sac popped and was leaking blood so I had to clamp it. She made it through too.
