What should I do to help this baby??

Just hatched, but looks like umbilical and maybe part of yolk didn't absorb. Still bleeding, not a lot but enough to be worrisome. It's a silkie so small.

How's the little one doing?

How's the little one doing?

Thank you for asking It's doing great! She was weak at first, but seems totally fine today. Just out of the incubator and holding her own with siblings. This was our first hatch and her siblings did NOT hatch like this, so I panicked! Amazing the changes that occur in 24hrs!

Have had a couple bleeders like that, it's scary.

Wonderful news! May s/he live a long and happy life.

It really is! I feel a little more prepared (I think) for the next hatch, though. So thankful it's good today!
