Whats wrong with this duckling?

[K4zn4v3]

This duckling just hatched. Can anyone tell me what this is or how it happens.

Its where the yolk has been absorbed it should just dry out and scab over. It looks a bit raw so I'd make sure to keep it dry and clean and maybe put some antiseptic on it.
Congrats on your baby

same as mrslb333 said, keep it dry and it'll be okay.
Congratulations on your new duckling!

What a cute little belly button that duckie will have when its healed over. Pity it will be covered over in down too

Congrats on the babies. I will have to go looking for your other threads now to catch up on how your hatching has been going.
