After a week, it Shouldn't have much yolk at all... Are you sure the're a week old?

 

[pefferlawchicken]

yes positive

You have to find a way to drain and rinse the yolk out of his belly. He won't live long with it clogged...

 

[pefferlawchicken]

the little ball of yolk outside his body? do i pop it and rinse it out and let it heal ?
