Help my baby duck

[Duckgirl97]

I need help with my baby duck I went out in their Coop yesterday and found him in his egg and the other ones was either trying to help it out or pecked it trying to kill it but it was bleeding and everything so I left the membrane around him but remove the outer egg he broke through the membrane on his own after he absorbed his blood vessels but he still attached to the yolk sac or umbilical cord and he has maybe a hernia or something on the bottom at. this point I don't know what to do he's hanging on he's been an incubator since I found him he doesn't seem like he's interested in dying he's holding on to life but I'm not sure what to do for his belly any ideas?

This is him. He looks bad. He still chirps occasionally. But I don't know what to do.

It's hatched too early, and the yolk sack needs to absorb. Apply antibiotic ointment, and try to limit its activity. Good luck as the prognosis is not ideal.

Why would it have hatched early? Maybe a result of the other ducks ?

Its cord and around its belly looks dry?

It will fall off on its on. Just keep the little one on a soft cloth and hopefully rest and quiet will help. Can you get a better pic of its belly area?
