Id give it time. Sometimes they absorb it.

how long before it should begin to walk around and such. and thank you for your help

How is the chick doing now?

That chick will likely not survive. It happens...

 

[duck&chickencrazy]

I have had cases where this happens so its possible for the chick to survive...the yolk was not fully absorbed...all you have to do is wrap it in a damp (with warm water) wash cloth and wrap the baby in it (so it cant really move around and get the yolk sac caught on the bottom of the incubator)...the yolk sac will eventually be absorbed...

its still living and seems pretty lively. its not up walking around or and thing yet but its very vocal. i will try that with the warm rag thank you all
