Welcome to BYC. Have you read the whole thread yet?

This is what I do. I place them into a margarine container on a bed of paper towels. Leave them laying on its side. It can take 2 days to absorb the yolk. Do not feed or water it.

@Opal8, please do NOT do this:

Ok now you need to hurry this might help. ok now get a bowl and fill it with warm water and add 1 to 2 drops of hydrogen peroxide mix it in and dip a paper towel in it to where it is damp and use a wooden dowel and carefuly break the shell and avoid the yolk that is still there don't break all of it and place it on the towel... and HURRY!!!

I actually just got off the phone with my veterinarian. She suggested I leave it be. She said to maybe try feeding it some recovery food since it is not getting nutrients from the yolk sac. She said the outlook is not very good.

Well feeding it actually isn't a good idea..sorry this is happening.

Even if a vet says so? Remember you said it many time we are not vets

I was going to suggest starting with some drops of Pedialyte since in the one picture it looks like it is getting dehydrated. Once hydrated, then give some food. Please confirm with your vet.
