Help! Weak duckling!

[Paterino Del Galaxia]

I have a Muscovy duckling that hatched today, It does not eat and does not drink, when i removed the shell there was still unabsorbed yolk inside the shell, the duckling's umbilical cord is not connected to the unabsorbed yolk. He chirps and chirps then sleeps.... HE DOES NOT EAT AND DRINK!

They do not eat or drink for the first couple of days because they are living off the yolk and don't need to.

Are you sure it was unabsorbed yolk in the egg shell, and not embryonic waste?

It's color is brown but slightly yellowish. @Pyxis

And it is telling something to me because it is chirping at me

I changed my light bulb in the incubator, from 40w to 25w, is that ok? @Pyxis

 

[Paterino Del Galaxia]

I already threw out the shell early in the morning when it was hatching..

I also cured the duckling's belly with betadine and it healed tgough

As long as it is still maintaining the proper temperature, yes

I would bet it was just embryonic waste, which is totally normal and fine.
