Your main problem right now, is she is Opened up to a WHOLE bunch of infections. Bacteria, internal. the list goes on so the MOST important thing is to keep her VERY VERY clean.


What we need her to do is Shrink Wrap, YES, I know I said the CURSE word. The word every one has fear for. LOL but the reason why we need her to shrink wrap is to get her closed up as FAST as we can. The only way your going to do this is Lowering the humidity, HOWEVER, if you have other eggs in that bator, that's going to be another issue..

Now here's the tricky part because we need her to contract and get the rest of her yolk sac inside BEFORE she closes up .The way a duck contracts is by MAKING NOISEs... OH YEH, so she NEEDS to talk to us.

SO here's my suggestion. If you can get her in a Cup, that's the best thing, she needs PRESSURE not a lot but some Pressure on that area so that it pushes back up in her then her belly button will close up from the sides. HOWEVER, she is probably NOT going to want to be in that Cup, which is FINE, so then we go to plan B and Plan B is make her a Diaper, OH YEH, a diaper for a duck. Get a paper towel, disinfecting water, vet wrap, etc.. Wet the paper towel, don't soak it just slightly wet, you want to keep it semi wet so that it slips back inside But not to wet because then it will keep coming back out.

Set the paper towel so that its completely covering that area, get the vet wrap, you will have to make some holes for her feet, Again she is NOT going to like the diaper, if that doesn't work if you have another bator, get her on some slipper flooring, Yes, this may cause her to get splayed legs but we can deal or fix that later, wet the slipper flooring so that the sac does NOT stick to it and she can just slide around while it's shrinking up in her.

I've got more ideas to help if the ones above fail so let me know..

Good Picture by the way. Now if she closes before that sac goes inside DON"T WORRY, it will turn into a scab and fall off, so you either way you'll be OK.
