Turkry hatched runny yolk

[Dianna63020]

I had a turkey hatch that the yolk was runny. She appears ok but I never seen that. She has an umbilical cord that seems long right at an inch. But there was raw runny yolk in the egg. Is this ok? I jus have never seen this before.

I've not seen that either, how is it doing? Sounds like it didn't finish absorbing the yolk before hatching?

I don't think he absorbed much yolk at all. That little pouch in back like most chicks hav he didn't have at all. But he is hanging in there. He didn't eat or drink but he is now but nothing like he should be. I put him back in incubator to warm him up twice. So I don't know we'll see.

Finally got some pictures. I wish I woulda taken one when it came out. Therr eas yellow runny yolk was allover it and maybe a teaspoon In the egg.

He's eating and drinking so guess he'll be ok. He is tiny though. You can see the yellow yolk on his face lol
