What happened to the blood veins in the eggs?

Date sort Score sort
I do not think these are healthy babies at all...Biggie is the only one out of the shell and he is breathing ..but just laying there. He looks so frail. Trouble is still in the cup sleeping and Smiles is still attached to her egg and moving around.. just very tired still I guess. By this time all the others were up running around...
 
Ok...update..Trouble is working very hard to rid himself of that egg shell. The blood is going from that cord and it looks like he should break free from the egg at any time. Biggie is doing MUCH better. He is trying to stand up and walk around.
Smiley on the other hand...there is so much old blood around that cord..it just looks a big black blob and I can't even see but I am sure all the blood has been absorbed. That cord is still VERY thick..this is at 9:21AM

OK...so I took a peek and Trouble DOES still have yolk sac... it was very runny...I could tell for sure what that was..I put him in a bowl like the others were..Oh and Smiles is scooting all over the place with her shell now too.. it looks like some of that goop is wrapped around her leg. I am guess when it all dries up she can just pull her leg away from it?
Anyway.. thank you so much for taking your time to coach me through this. I cannot imagine what I would have done by myself...THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

What do you mean it's RUNNY? Yolk can't be RUNNY? Did it break??? do you mean it's leaking out all over?? This is NOT GOOD>...

Don't give up, it's very very difficult to over come what they have already over come. They will seem weak and helpless all the way UP until there belly button closes. Take a look at there navals, send a pic of Biggies lets see what it looks like. In the next day or two, your gonna see TOTALLY different ducks.
 
Ok so ... smiley is still in toting her egg around..that cord is very thick but it is black and I just can't see what the heck is going on with that.. I will take a picture in a minute..there are 2 white specks right where that cord goes into it's rear.. I am guessing those are tiny specks of egg shell..I hope anyway..

Trouble...it looked like a clear sack with water in it..it had a bright yellow tint to it but it appeared to have clear fluid in there. It is gone now and I expect that Trouble will be kicking that shell off anytime now. There is no blood in the cord and the cord is very thin.

Biggie is doing much better.. He has actually been trying to stand up and walk around. His legs are positioned perfectly.. they aren't all spread out Rocky's were. He is still resting more that the others did but he is much better than he was an hour ago..

That bator has to be crawling with bacteria!! I picked up Biggie a few minutes ago (after my first cup of Joe) to inspect the little guy and he started pecking at my hands... OH and I can tell you FOR SURE that Biggie is a Boy!

Good for BIGGY
 
OK get a qtip with WARM water, that white speck that you saw with Smiles, Is he's first little pee. AWWW, They are going to be weak looking like this for at least the next 24 hours, you see there Belly buttons are NOT closed up, once that closes up, BOOM a different duck. Also clearn the Cord, wipe from the navel down towards the shell, NO need to go in the shell. Just wipe around the cord get that gooy NASTY stuff off
