This baby duckling hatched out Sunday. It hasn't absorbed all of its yoke sack. Its eating drinking pooping and waddling around fine. My question is what do I do about the yoke sack? I was keeping it moist without results. Now it's drying out some. Do I keep it moist or do I let it dry up. Will it fall off? Any advice would be appreciated.

I've been told you should tie it off and let it dry up and fall off? I didn't want to do that because I can still see a blood vessel in the sack. I want this baby to live so I'm asking to give it its best chance. Thanks for all u'r advice.
