2 of my ducklings just hatched with protruding belly buttons! I'm not sure if this is yolk sack or what. I put some antibiotic on them and they're resting in the incubator right now. Should I separate them in cups? Wrap them in damp cloth? Leave them and let them dry up? One of them bled a tiny bit. Are they going to be ok?
 
They'll be okay, their bellies just hadn't closed entirely when they hatched. Give them some time and it will close right up and they'll be fine :) Just make sure they aren't dragging their bellies over anything that could injure them.
