Newly Hatched Chick did not absorb Yolk. Please help a newbie!

[aart]

we had a couple others where a bit of the "jelly" was dragging but none so bad as that one, and those came alright after a bit.

Have seen this happen, not too unusual, more often with 'wet' chicks...which can be due to not enough moisture evaporating egg during incubation.

I am thinking that. that chick might have stepped on his "jelly" and made it worse. I saw him trying to drag the egg shell around, so he was in a hurry to go somewhere..

Have seen this too, definitely can make it worse, why the cup to keep them from cavorting. They move around a lot, spastically, after hatching, why ya gotta watch for connected umbilicus gunk that can get hung up. Dragging shells need attention and removal.
