    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 [​IMG] [​IMG]

    same as mrslb333 said, keep it dry and it'll be okay.

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

    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.
