HELP! tangled umbilical, distended yolk

[OneMountainAcres]

Unfortunately Will passed away tonight. He was getting so strong and had so much personality. Today was a rediculous busy day and I didn't get to check on him. The last time I saw him this morning he was running around, eating and playing and even trying to jump out of the brooder. I found him about 45 minutes ago, on his back, near the food dish, cold and barely moving. I tried to get him warmed up under the heat lamp and he took a couple little drinks from the eye dropper but he didn't make it. I'm wondering if he was trampled. The kids and I are heart broken now he had such a desire to live and I like I left him down by not checking in on him today.

I'm sorry. It's hard to lose the little guys. You both did your best. Don't be too hard on yourself. He could of had other issues internally. You gave him lots of love during his short life.
