Probably a much better way of putting than my description...

Oh not likely I don't know what I'm talking about.

I'm honestly not sure I do either...

Same here. . I'm so sleepy I couldn't even remember how to screen shot!
If I am correct. . And I may not be. . it is yolk but it isn't.. . as in the yolk is absorbed but just barley in time before they came out. So the yolk is inside but because it was still a tiny bit early it isn't all sucked in yet and closed up fully. My first call out was a little bit like that. .not quite that much. Duck chic said just lay it somewhere soft it won't snag it on anything and it would go down pretty fast.

yall are killin me

It is where the yolk is drawn in, it's just a little open gap. It'll close up very soon, and you'll never notice it. It is good to keep them on something soft and dry. A little dab of Neosporin is fine, but not really necessary.

Well, we are trying to figure it all out.. But even so, it did make for a good discussion....
