Unabsorbed yolk sac duckling?

[happychickies101]

Our ducks are hatching! Yay! We are so excited to introduce these precious babies to the world but have a couple worries.. we’re on day 26 going onto 27. 4 of our 8 eggs have pipped but this one is especially pipped. It’s going to hatch soon, his little beak is sticking out half way and he’s chirping a lot. But I have a concern, he opens his mouth sometimes and it looks a little like a yawn. I’ve heard that’s a sign of an unabsorbed yolk sac.. what do you say?

I would say leave it and let it hatch on its time. It may stay like that till day 28 and fully absorb the yolk.

The bit of yolk usually falls off.
