Worried about new chick

[tania_w1]

My silkie chick hatched this morning and was dragging a little yellow blob. Is it ok? I had to go to work so it’s at home in the incubator. This is my first hatch so I’m worried!

Hard to tell if it's yolk, or not. It might be just waste from it pooping in its shell.

My initial thought was it looked a bit like poop, but then I read stuff online hahaha

The poop should come off on it's own, or you can wipe it off gentley with a damp paper towel. A better picture of the blob would be best to be 100% sure it is just poop before proceeding.

Yeah I thought it was poop at first. LOL Seriously, though, it could be part of the yolk.
