HELP! 2 baby ducks just hatched with insides hanging out?!

[NMinard]

I am not quite sure what to do?? One was born with his insides hanging out, but it mostly went back in, and now has a little bulb, he can still go to the bathroom. But the other one is..i don't know. the yolk said broke it looks like, yellow every where, and he is drink in the incubator and warbling around struggling dragging around his insides!! This pic is of the one that has the little bulb now. this is the one that has hatched and is traipsing around like this!

Was this an assisted hatch or did they hatch all on their own?

 

[NMinard]

so far all have hatched on their own. 5 are perfectly fine. 6 is we don't know what will happen. and 7.. dear gods...this poor creature.. he is still wet, so i can't open the incubator. I have one egg still un-hatched.

The first picture looks like the duckling hadn't absorbed all of it's yolk sac quite yet. This can happen sometimes. It should absorb in a couple days. Just keep an eye on it and keep it clean. The second picture looks normal. Some ducklings/chicks have that hanging off of their umbilicus area. I believe it's the allantois? Someone correct me if I'm wrong. It's the brown gunk that is inside the egg or still attached to the chick right after hatching. If you see a red string still attached to it, it may be a vessel that just needs closed off yet. I have hatched many, many mallards and from what I can see from the photos, looks normal or not too urgent. The one with the yolk sac still hanging out, just wrap him up for now while he's resting and wait and see if he will absorb the rest.

x2!! I don't know what the top one is, but agree it's probably some yolk and would keep an eye on it! And #2 does look like gunk from the egg...
