Ruptured Yolk Sack on new chick, now what? *Graphic*

[AnneInTheBurbs]

Shipped eggs, most have hatched well. One seems to have a ruptured yolk sack and goo hanging out of her bum. She has pooped, and I have given her some water with nutri-drench and sugar. She is in a cup with a moist paper towel.

Should I tie off the goo on her end? Let it go naturally? I have put neosporin in it as a precaution also. Any advice is appreciated.

This is what you do put her in a yogurt container and let it get soaked up

It needs to absorb the yolk and that needs to dry up and fall off. Yes, place it in a container on dry Kleenex..
Best wishes..

Thank you both. She did not make it through the night. She was very small and weak, and perhaps something else was wrong. I appreciate the help!

Oh I'm so sorry mine died from that also

sorry for your loss. hope it doesn't have to happen again

Thanks guys. Sometimes, it just happens. All the rest look very strong and healthy though, and she didn’t suffer long, so that is good also.

So sorry for your loss. In your first picture it looks like her yolk sac was infected, and there is no practical treatment for those.

Thanks, that's very possible. I noticed when I disposed of her body this morning she did have a smell to her. It certainly makes me feel better knowing there was nothing I could have done.
