what is this on my chick? pic included

Well, by the time I got all the cloths and stuff ready when I went to get her the sac had torn a little and was leaking. No matter what I did it kept sticking to everything and I couldn't go to bed thinking that she was going to just get it ripped out from under her sooooo. Even though there was some blood most of the leakage was yolk. I examined it and decided to clamp it and see what happends. Nothing happend so I clipped it off and held the end closed for about a 1/2 hour. Put her back in the incubator to warm up again. Now with not absorbing the yolk I'm thinking oh she will starve. So I put down a paper towel with some food and forked a boiled egg. Gave her a drink and went to bed.
Well, she made it! here she is with her brother or sister. She needs a bath but after last night I didn't want to do to much.
She looks smaller than the other one, I guess we'll see how it goes. I had another chick last year have something like this but it was all yellow and it just aborbed over time. This one was a little different having veins and blood running through it. She is eating good now!

She looks like she's missing half her bottom! I bet once she fluffs up she'll look much chubbier.
Wow. What a story. So glad she made it this far and I really hope she's going to be fine.
 
YAY!! I'm soo glad the baby made it! keep us updated on how she/he is doing.
