So, I have 5 little AYAM cemani chicks. & there all healthy & happy. But I am questioning this little ones unabsorbed yolk sack still visible. This little cemani is extremely active eats & drinks a lot and just acts like actual chick like nothings wrong. I have her/him separated in a different cage. It can still see the other chicks and has its own food and water. And everyday I put some nelosporin on the yolk area so it won’t get afffected. But other than that the chick is very healthy & active. But I am wondering will this yolk sak dry up and fall off eventually???? So I can put him with his friends???

I’m sorry I’m so late to the party. I have a small flock of cemanis and have been hatching them for for a little while. I have had this happen to me, and I actually did nothing. I let him dry off in the incubator, put him in the brooder, and it dried up on its own. It sounds like you have it under control, he sounds like a little nugget

Did it ever fall off I have a baby this same way and haven’t got a answer myself. Is the chick doing well? Mine wants with the others so bad , breaks my heart it’s alone. As soon as this falls off I will put him with his brothers and sisters.

Yes, it works itself out, and all my babies do quite well. I haven’t lost one yet after hatch and had no health issues, unless you count excessive broodiness in all my hens

Sorry to have so many questions lol he is one week today and it’s really dry and hard. Sis you keep yours away from the other chics the whole time until it come off? He wants to be around the others so bad. I just don’t want the others pecking at it . I’m just afraid it will take weeks to go away.

Oh no, I was talking maybe a day, not a week. I can imagine he is lonely Can you post a pic of what you are talking about?

It’s hard to see but it’s the black round spot. His bottom looks like that from the a@d ointment I was putting on him. He is other wise starting to put weight on and healthy . I had to help fix a splay leg with him also but he is 100 better. He is just lonely. I tried adding him with the other 5 but they where pecking the spot. I see some folks cut the spot off after a week or so but I’m scared lol. My heart is sad for this little fella. He was so happy wen he was with them for a few mins..

Is that on his belly or his butt, I can’t tell.
Soaking it doesn’t soften it up where you can break up gently?

It was when he was born the egg yolk sac or hernia. I see others that let it dry then cut it off. I put ointment on it to make sure he didn’t get mushy chic so I did that . He is better except for being alone not wanting other chics pecking at it. I’m just waiting on it to go away. It’s where cord was round on the spot about as big as pinky finger. Was just wondering if I should cut it or let it dry up? Again I’ve seen videos of others slowly cutting it off.. but I’m scared ..

Hi there. I wanted to see how your chick is doing. Did you wind up cutting the sac off or waiting? Mine is 5 days and drying up but still there. Curious what approach you took and how it worked out. My baby is also lonely.

How many days did it take before the sac dried up and fell off? I have a 5 day old chick who still has hers.
