Yes, looks like navel. There's just a little bulge there, but it looks like all of the yolk is inside so that is good it should close up and go down in a couple hours.
You can put him in a little cup if he's flopping himself around a lot.

They are kind of roly poly for a while with that belly bulge like that. Sometimes I do put them in a little cup just so they don't flop over on their back and get stuck.

What a cutie! He wants his sibling to join him!

Ok thanks! That’s what I was thinking. He isn’t very floppy so I’ve left him out for now. He is truly a little duckie wrecking ball!

Thanks! I definitely agree!

The little fella keeps trying to pull on the other ducklings membrane and now it’s bleeding a bit. Is it alright to remove him? I usually wait till they’re dry but I don’t want him to injure the other little duckling. I have the brooder set up and the heat lamp on.

Here’s the other it’s not ready yet. Still has some active veins.

Yep it should be fine to take it out if you haven't already.
