I use iodine, keep them separate so they dont pick each others and tear it and open it up.  Feed electrolytes and try some scrambled egg yolk if they will eat itty bits of it!  And of course read that info!  Good luck!  Pics ALWAYS help us to help you!

From what I've read, leave 'em be.  If they're stuck on them for more than a couple of days then you'll need to intervene.  A hernia will be noticeable and requires either surgery or at the very least a small bandaid with neosporin on it to help fight infection.  If left untreated, the innards fall out and the poor ling won't do so well.  Any pictures you can share?

getting pics right now thank u for answering I've been a mess all last night and all day today

It's original but I haven't researched if it's a first edition.  There's nothing on the cover page about that except stating that it was sold by subscription only.

Wow!!!  you sure got your exercise in before you even had your second cup!!!!

Never tried one of the K-cup machines.  Mostly because it would take 3 of those things to just fill my favorite stoneware mug!!!

Every once in a while Walmart does k-cup samples and there are cups of unfinished coffee all over the store. It's too strong for me.

Oh No!

Post a picture of it so that we can have a better idea of what you are dealing with.

got a chance to post pics please help?!

Go with the iodine or use vetericyn spray. You can also use triple antibiotic ointment.

Try to keep them away from the other chicks--if possible set them in a cup for a day. I know they are ducks and will likely jump out. The yolk should absorb in a day. If it was green and bigger then it would be bad. Now it looks fairly normal for chicks that did not completely develop during incubation.

For the next hatch, get a brinsea spot check and adjust the temp on the incubator. Yours was likely a bit too low during incubation.

Thanks for the picture. Sometimes the sack hangs off with a bit of umbilicus and that is a different treatment.

Great news thank you! Believe it or not it was a mama duck doing all the work no incubator! So not sure what humidity level was its been pretty dry here in the south so maybe that's what it was? We are very new to this and were thrilled when mama went broody and up until she started picking apart the eggs we thought she was doing a great job! Lol I've been putting ointment on every time I notice it seems a little dry and I check on them every 15 minutes someone said keep it damp do I need to place wet paper towels over it or should the ointment do the trick?

Use the ointment--I do not think you need paper towels.

The thing to worry about is infection.

Keep us posted!
