Hi! Our duckling hatched this morning with green protrusion coming from her abdomen. It was an assisted hatch, and all blood vessels had been absorbed at the time. Originally, we thought this was the yolk sac, but are not so sure anymore. Any ideas?? She seems to still be struggling with the green gunk around her bottom and lower abdomen area.

Sorry! Not the best quality but the best we could get.

Hm… it’s hard to see but when our chickens (not ducks) hatched, they pooped green like a newborn baby would do. I looked it up, and it’s normal. If baby ducks poop green, then that might be it! 😄
 
it really seems to like being under a heat lamp more than the incubator though, it seemed to calm a little and breathing was less labored.
