Help! Duckling bleeding!

[WVduckchick]

She came out! Very underdeveloped!! Yolk sac is huge!!

Oh darn.
If it’s really huge, see if you can stuff her butt back in the shell. Put a dry paper towel in a small bowl, and put her in it, kinda sitting up. Prop her up with the towel, head up, butt down in the bottom. And put back in the bator.

Kinda like this.

I put her in a small bowl. She’s laying next to the egg though. She can’t move much so she can’t rupture the yolk sac. I can’t put her back in the shell like that because so much of the shell is still there. There are still veins around the shell so I’m scared to pull some off.

Keep the humidity up in the incubator and pray for her
Could you get a picture of her ?

Best you can do now is try to keep her immobilized, so she doesn’t rip it open. Hopefully it will absorb within the next few hours.
Do you still have other Viable eggs in there?

It’s hard to get a picture when she’s in the incubator

I do, but there haven’t had any activity

Ok. You don’t want any other messing with that yolk sack either. So if any of the others pip, you may consider putting some type of barrier over/around this one. I used a small plastic bowl from the dollar store with holes all in it. Just turned it upside down over top of one I was concerned about.
