Three week old Bantam Yolk sac

[gtcakes]

I have a three week old bantam silkie with a hardened belly just below vent. I believe it’s the yolk sac. Not sure what to do about it. I left it alone for a while bc I read that it eventually gets absorbed, but I’m thinking three weeks is old enough to maybe do something else.

Any thoughts? I call this one Messi bc it’s my favorite soccer player and this chick tends to the messier side of things. Alwyas being a little dirty and messy.

Hoping it’s just a fluke. This chick does seem smaller than the other Bantams, but not overly so.

Can you post a few pictures of the area?

I will when I get home. It’s hard to see bc it’s a black silkie.

Here is a pic. Looks like there is dried blood and yellow stuff dried up, along with poop. The vent is clear (had pasty butt first week, but cleared up with cleaning and ACV).
