Little bit o' yolk on baby's bottom burst- is it dangerous?

[Tanichca]

So, we had a rosecomb baby (without a rosecomb, oddly enough- I think my RIR roo got into that coop

) hatch about two hours back with a little bit of yolk on his butt. He was fine until one of his sibling pecked at it, and it looks like it burst. Though the yolk is still cohesive, there is a bit on his leg, and some blood (not a lot, just a small mucous clot.) I know that the yolk sack shouldn't be ruptured, could it hurt the chick?? The chick is resting, not very active, but it did just hatch, so I'm not too worried about that. Should I be?

My guess would be that it's fine. I've never had this happen but I've had lots of yolk "complications" and they have all turned out fine with no interference of mine. Keep an eye on him, but he'll probably be okay. Keep me posted.

Well, the yolk kept dribbling out, and he died early this morning.

Ah well.

I'm so sorry. That's very sad. How are the others doing?

The other two are just fine, and should be moving out of the cage and into the quarantine coop tonight.
