I’ve got one that had a HUGE unabsorbed yolk. There are several still unhatched eggs and one that successfully hatched and was wet but walking around. (I started with 40 eggs. 28 hatched successfully and are in the brooder. ) so, I opened the incubator , grabbed the one chick with huge unabsorbed, as per suggestions on another poster on this site, I quickly wrapped in a paper towel, placed in a small cup and placed back into the incubator. He’s spent the night wrapped in the cup. His head is not covered so he can see & interact with the other hatched chick, but safe from harm as he can’t drag the unabsorbed yolk nor the other chick peck or damage it either. I viewed Them a few minutes ago. THe chick in cup is alert, glanced up at me thru the window, so at least I know he’s alive. The humidity & heat are right on target. The incubator doing a great job
