Help!

So I have a duckling that’s momma broke the egg open before it was fully ready. I’ve had him in the incubator for 2 days and his umbilical cord isn’t drying out. It appears that the yolk has already been absorbed but his belly is still distended. I gave him a little nutridrench, and put neosporne on his cord to help it not get infected. What else can I do for this lil one?!?

Do you have a cup? Ive seen people set the chick upright with the yolk and such in the cup so it can absorb easier and not move around, causing more damage

Poor thing is so weak he doesn’t move at all..just lays on his back and shakes periodically. I’ve been by his/her side constantly literally haven’t slept in 2 days I feel so bad for it praying to god it makes it it’s def a little fighter
