Help, possibly a prolapse but I’m not sure what to do

[Roseyfoxx]

Pictures included: First brood of the year, went out this morning to find this baby and I’m not sure how to help, if it’s nothing to worry about or if it’s futile. Possibly a prolapse? Baby is very talkative and is just trying to get warm on the heating pad because mama won’t sit anymore since her other babies are up walking

I know what it is he hasn't fully absorbed his yolk sac and he hatched too early. I don't know what to do about it but maybe we can do some research. @MysteryChicken @TheDawg @LadiesAndJane just tagging a few people

The yolk sack is very veiny. I’ve had many brood before just haven’t seen this before. He’s softly chirping now and getting fluffy but he keeps kicking his legs and I don’t want him to tear anything

This is what it’s turned into

Do you have an incubator if so cut it on and put him in that to keep him warm maybe. I just don't want him to tear it from what I've read he will be fine as long as it doesn't get cut open.

Is it on his vent or under his vent if it's on his vent it's not an egg yolk if it is in fact under his vent it's his egg yolk

X2.. keep it separated from the others. It will either finish absorbing. Or it will dry up in a few days.. find it a friend that won't peck at it..

It’s at the top and my hopes at dwindling as he keeps struggling more comes out

Set it in part of a shell then upright in a cup. Keep it warm.. this will help keep it still and allow it to absorb the rest. If it dries you can cut it off but kot before it's completely dry
