Newly hatched Cochin chick, attached yolk sack

[Jessijay]

Hello,
Please delete if not allowed with my apologies.
I had a cochin chick hatch overnight, they pipped yesterday morning and had barely made any progress when I went to bed last night around midnight, it was out of the egg this morning when I came down. It is now 1:19pm here and the baby is still wet but the bigger issue is, the yolk sack still seems to be attached. I was planning to move the baby to a clean isolation brooder and let it dry out and fall off but I am also seeing a lot of people saying the risk of inection is very high and a lot of chicks die from this. Is there anything like an electrolyte solution or infection reducing treatment I can do for it that i can make at home? I live in a rural area and we don't have vets around that take chickens so please no "go to vet", I know that would be the best option if it was one but it isn't so I am looking for other options, please. There is also no feed store that sells antibiotics close by. Any suggestions? I can't get a picture yet as the humidity is too high in the incubator to get a clear one but it is not bleeding or leaking, just kinda hanging there. There are no other chicks currently in the incubator and it was an on schddule hatch, day 21 was yesterday.
Thanks everyone

About all you can do is keep the chick/yolk sack clean until it's absorbed. You might try putting the chick in a sterile coffee cup in the incubator. The only chance is to keep everything sterile so bacteria does not cause infection. You do not want the sack to dry out and do not cut it off. If the sack has not broken, there is a chance.

Good luck.

Thank you! Should I clean it at all? I am warming up a second clean incubator before I move it over.
I will keep my fingers crossed, poor babe.
