Un-Absorbed yolk sac please help

I just had a chick hatch will a small (nickle sized) yolk sac not absorbed. I wrapped her in a damp paper towel with some antibiotics on it. I'm so sad :'(

There is a good chance that the yolk sac will absorb and the chick will be fine. keep the chick warm.

The chick seems a lot better, the yolk sac didnt absorb though. It just dried up. Using lots of antibiotic ointment and it seems to be helping.

It may take a long time -- and it may not really absorb fully - but just dry up and fall off. As long as other chicks don't peck it to cause a wound, I think your chick will be just fine~
good luck with it.
