My duckling has been under a broody mama it has been in there for 27 days and it started a PIP today this morning and it hatched rather quickly all natural by itself but I noticed that it has a small maybe quarter inch yolk sac left on it but it is chirping chirping and trying to move around how can I help?

If the protrusion is that small, the duckling's navel will likely heal on its own. I'd just keep an eye on it for now to make sure it does.

Congrats on your duckling!

Can it stay with its mama? Thank you for the quick reply!

It would be best for it to stay with the broody, unless you see behavior that concerns you. The broody is also a duck, right?
