Hi! So I’m still fairly new to hatching ducks (or anything) but the first few I have hatched I’ve never had a problem with, with this lot of ducks I hatched out 4 ducklings 3 of which were born pretty close together and then my little fella hatched out a day later. All three ducklings are great! They are eating and drinking and running around, but my little dude hatched out 8 hours ago and the yolk sac (which was absorbed just stuck still) has dried up but is still very much stuck on, and he is still verrry lethargic and is sleeping a lot. He seemed to realllly struggle to hatch out and even has some marks on the top of his beak, I’m just not sure what to do or if there is anything I can do.. he’s under a heat lamp (after he fluffed up in the incubator) and is on his own. Any advice or help appreciated!! Thankyou
