Thank you!! I have it in cup now in incubator. Yes the baby has pipped probably last night and the inner lining was stuck right to it. Right on beak too. If I hadn’t helped I truly think she would have suffocated. Then I saw the sack and at first just panicked because literally an hour ago I was reading a post about a duckling have its organs form on the outside. But before anyone even replied I was looking and was for sure it was the yolk sack but I am surely glad everyone has helped with info because I would have had no clue out to handle it. She’s in cup in incubator now. Hopefully all goes well. The other six hatched out perfectly fine no problemsYes baby needs to stay in the incubator
I had one a month ago that I had no choice but to hatch him knowing he had a large yolk left. Although I only got his head and neck out I kept his body in his lower shell upright and wrapped with dry paper towel to help support baby neck as well as keep the baby from pushing out. Mine took about 16 more hours to absorb
Mine had two air cells and baby couldn’t find either one had bruises going in all directions as he was hitting veins all over. He couldn’t get oxygen from the blood veins any longer and because both ends were blocked with air cells he couldn’t breath he was to squished.
If you have the lower part of the shell it works great to protect the yolk as well as keep baby in better. If not the other thing will work
