PLEASE HELP!! CHICK IN TROUBLE!!

[casportpony]

@ChickenCanoe this is a better picture. I am so confused, bc this doesn't look anything like the small yolk sacks that went up inside my other chicks

it looks pretty grim to me... I dunno if he/she will make it, but I am not going to mess with it and harm the chick further.

This pictures shows what's left of the yolk attached to the intestines, which are outside the abdominal cavity. So sorry.

I had three hatch this weekend with the yolk not fully absorbed. One looked like it hadn't absorbed much of the yolk. It lived about 24 hours. Another had about the same amount of yolk out as your photo, that one lived a couple days. After the yolk dried up I cut it off, and it looked like the chick would be fine, but I guess it was just too weak. A third had a tiny bit of yolk sticking out, and it is doing fine.

Here is a close up:


Blue = intestines
Pink = where the yolk attaches to the intestines
White = what's left of the yolk.
