Left over yolk on poult

[Kstring]

got some poults that started hatching yesterday. Lookin like we'll have a good hatch rate.

But one poult that was born yesterday didn't absorb all of his yolk...I'm assuming that's what it is. Looks like a newborn baby's belly button. He's still alive and doin fine. Up and eating and drinking today.

Curious to whether or not this is normal or somethin that will prevent healthy growth?

He may have been in a warmer spot where he hatched early or another chick may have helped him out before he was ready.

If it's absorbing in not bleeding all should be fine with no ill effects later on.

He did hatch a good bit before the rest...didn't think about the warmer spot possibility. That's interesting. He is the liveliest and best looking of the poults but I attribute it to the fact that he's so much older.
