I'm having a similar problem but mine is still in the shell. Did yours make it?

Hi Guys, this is happening to me. Little chick with a great big unabsorbed yolk sac kicked her way out of the egg. It was large and yellow. I've been reading this forum, and followed initial instructions: I've kept her away from other hatching chicks and tried to keep her still. I put her in a warm safe broody box on her own. She popped the yolky bit but it did not seem to bleed out, which I am taking as a good sign.

I need help with what to do next, please??

Two parts of advice on this forum are conflicting- do I tie up the umbilical section and wait for it to fall off / snip it off or do I try to put it back inside her?

I would be really grateful for your help!!

Is this a rupture? Age 3 hours. If she is going to die I'd rather end it than make her suffer.

I cut off some of the yolk and kept the rest moist while it abosrbing back in.

Mine is a healthy little hen. The yolk slowly absorbed into her body
