This is the 2nd chick that hatched. He finally pushed the rest of his shell off of himself today, but apparently, prematurely.
I cleaned him up and kept him in a cup with a wet paper towel all day. I've had to change it out a few times, as there was yellow/green stuff all over. So a little while ago, he hopped out of the cup and has been trying to walk around. I kept putting him back in, but he'd hopped right back out. He's definitely waking up all of a sudden.
The problem is this below. I'm guessing that's the sac? Now, as I just looked again, I can't see as much yellow on him-don't know if he absorbed some or if it's just dragged on the wash cloth below. Some of it is definitely on the cloth. I guess I just leave him be at this point? I have to run out for the next 1 1/2 hours and hate to leave, but I have no choice.
Thanks for all of your help! This site has been invaluable to me!
