Good afternoon,
I hatched a few baby turkeys..during the hatch the incubator quit working. So of corse bad hatching. One of the turkeys had a piece of unabsorbed yolk sac still exposed. I didn't see it. I saw a baby chick pull on something and my turkey screamed. I thought it was pasty butt. Nope..it was her yolk sac. Now a piece of her belly I guess has popped back out. She's still walking around, but looking for cover. What should I do? I have tried covering it..moved her out of that brooder box, but she pulled it off..the band aid. She's not bleeding. She seems OK. But I'm still worried
 
I hope other with more hatching experience will help, but I would put some Betadine on the opening to help prevent infection. Then cover again with bandaid.
Awesome thank you. Yeah I'm not sure what happened to the bator. Suddenly just stopped working. I was rather upset. My other bator is holding 12 Molted Orphingtons (not cochins lol) so I had no hatching room in there.
