Unabsorbed Yolk Sac

[courtyp16]

Hey guys I’m needing some help. I’m assuming this is unabsorbed yolk sac but i’m not sure. I kept it in the incubator for 24hrs after hatching and kept the sac moist but not much has happened. I put it in the brooder with the rest of the chicks last night after applying coconut oil around the area and it’s eating and drinking fine. None of the other chicks have bothered it. What do I need to do? Keep applying coconut oil or antibiotic cream? Help please! Of course this little one is my favorite

Keep doing what you’re doing and think the rest will either dry up and fall off or absorb the rest of the way. Luckily it’s only a little bit and it sounds like the chick is happy and healthy otherwise.
