A chick digests it's yolk sack over the course of up to 48 hours after that it wil need food and water you might want to wait untill tommrow to see if and other hatch or you can see if the yolks are alive by candling if the mama ignores the baby then you need to take it out or if the other hens if you have any are mean to it

good luck on your baby

I hope this helps
