Yolk Sac outside of hatching duckling!!!!

[Wickedchicken6]

Wow that looks much better! This little fella is a fighter!! Yeah!!

@WVduckchick ...what's your thoughts on post #18?

Are you sure it's yolk?

@BantyChooks

Yes
I wiped it from the nose with a Qtip
We moved them from the incubator to a small brooder with a heat lamp because in the incubator they kept trying to get up and they were stepping and sliding because of the moisture on the sac(the other one is out and it seems to have a little sac but not too bad but I have no idea because I am just stressed and confused. I went from hands off completely to hands on because of yolk sacs and I'm scared to death of making any move. Since we moved them they are resting with each other and laying in the warmth.

The yolk is like coming out of the ducklings nostrils a little
Please is this ok???

remember the "chill" we talked about with the wet wrap? -- could have just caused a bit of congestion, but probably nothing serious. Once he gets up and about, drinking and such, he'll work it out.

Nice warm fuzzy blanket looks lovely!

Doing great, ducky momma!!

Have they drank or eaten anything yet? I wouldn't rush it, I'm just curious.

 

[chickens really]

I just asked my friend....He had that happen....He thinks it is yolk got aspirated into the lungs...For some odd reason they hatch before ready...He culled his but yours might survive?....

Best wishes..

What should their brooder temp be? It's at 100 the thermometer says :/

 

[chickens really]

I never set it to a specific temp with Ducklings...If happily moving around and not upset I know the temp is right ..I provide and area out of heat....

Culled? Not sure what that means?
I hope they survive!!! I've been talking to them and they have warmth so I'm hoping they can rest and get better!

I had a little medicine syringe and I put it to their bill to let some touch it because it has electrolytes in it. They both got maybe 1 drop but I didn't want to force them to take any.

Cull means put them out of their misery ....Not saying you should do that.....
