Please HELP my duckling!! I DONT KNOW WHATS WRONG

[Kanrayhen24]

Hey everyone one of my ducklings hatched and it isn't doing so well. I followed instructions on what to do and he's absorbed the yolk but still has this big growth hanging out of his stomach! What do I do?

That duckling will likely not make it, sadly.
Those are intestines squeezing through the umbilical cord.

I had a chick hatch and it had the same problem. I had to cull it.

That view is not very good, that's why I asked for a better angle, preferably from behind.
However, those are likely it's intestines, so youll have to put it down, I'm sorry.

What happened with your duckling? Did you have to cull it? I haven't had to do that yet. If you did cull,what method did you use and what did you learn that you can share? Is it's too traumatising, please forgive and ignore.

Hi sorry I've just seen your message! My duckling from the photo sadly died after a couple days. I didn't cull it although I should have I just couldn't do it I think the best method is to put a teatowl over its head and twist it's neck to break it or bang it's head reasonably hard.
