Help.. #5 isn't doing well. Had to help him out. Yolk completely absorbed but very weak and belly bleeding.

Oh gosh do you know what to do? @caesargirl has had some experience with belly trouble. keep the lil one as clean as possible to avoid infection.

They use to say clean with weak solution of betadine not sure if that is the the thing to do now or not.

maybe even

Picture on it's way. Bloody warning. The egg did absorb but there's a nub.
Bleeding has stopped

 

[WVduckchick]

How badly is it bleeding? I've heard of even using a little flour, but if pressure stops the bleeding, it should close up pretty quickly. So dont cake anything on it too much.

I didn't refresh fast enough. That's good.

@Lacrystol?

I have no experience with hatching. @caesargirl should be able to help out.

Bleeding stops but then it crawls around and starts bleeding again. I'm trying to get better pictures but he's so weak and not wanting to open the incubator.
