[Higins00]

Is the green stuff from the sac or did it just have a bowel movement. Is it trying to move at all?

Its not from the sack. Its from a hole above it. It happened when I was trying to push the sack in. It was a suggestion from another user.

Now its fine, I pushed the sack in and its staying there. Now it can't stand up.

Let the baby rest for a few hours. The green sounds like a bowel movement the vent is right above where the sack is. Hatching is hard work and some just need more time to recover.

I had one hatch with the yolk sac exactly like that. It won't absorb. The yolk sac is completely external, there's no way for the chick to absorb it. I wrapped the whole thing, chick and yolk, in a wash cloth and tucked it into a coffee mug in the brooder. The mug immobilized it and protected it from the other chicks while the umbilicus dried. The yolk sac burst and I was able to cut the whole mess off the chick because the cord was dry by then. I tucked it back into the mug to rest and an hour later I looked in there and the chick was standing beside the mug. She was a skinny little thing because she hadn't absorbed the yolk, but she did just fine. She's out in the run right now, you'd never know she had a problem when she hatched.

Good advice I am trying that now! Did you put it back in the mug with or without the cloth? Its eyes are still closed.

I wrapped her back up in a clean cloth to make her feel secure and keep her warm. She struggled and chirped while I was taking care of her, then she napped and climbed out of the mug by herself. (startled me quite a bit when I looked in there)

I'm afraid the eyes still being closed isn't a good sign, though. In my experience those slowly fade away. I had my only Salmon Faverolle do that last night, I'm still very upset over it. I'm sorry, but you should prepare yourself.

 

[Mrs.brown]

I am sorry about your chick.

Mrs.brown :

I am sorry about your chick.

Thank you, I'm more upset about that loss than any I've had yet. I hope your little baby makes it. Keep it warm and wrapped up and dip the tip of it's beak in some multi-vitamin supplement if you have it.​

I think its sleeping right now. Is this too lose?

Well, it's kinda hard to tell. LOL

Basically, the cloth should be softly snuggled around it so that it feels secure but can still wiggle if it wants to.
