Yolk sac

[lucky13n3]

Hey everyone! Question....last night I had a chick hatch and still had a pea sized about of yolk sac on it belly. Well I came back about 30 minutes later and the sac had grown. I ended up cutting a portion of it off because there was tugging. This morning I noticed the remaining stuff was dry but when the chick gets excited new stuff falls out. Should I wrap a band aid around this chick or am I making it suffer?

oh no I know this was a week ago! I hope everything got better?

Unfortunately the little guy ended up not making it. I believe I have a hot spot in my incubator which is making them show up a bit early just in that spot. He also had terrible legs and feet. However I do have 11 very healthy happy babies. Just sucks to lose Even 1.

It just sucks when it happens. We have tried to make sure each one is healthy and we do everything we can but sometimes it isn't enough. I am so sorry for loss and know my heart is with you.
