Yolk still visible

[Tillyschickens]

My quails hatched last night on day 21 alot later than due. One of them has a small bit of its yolk sac still outside its body. It's not huge only tiny and on its lower abdomen. I can't find anything about this being normal or what to do. Any help?

If it's really small it should absorb on its own. Just be careful that it can't get stepped on or pecked at by other chicks.

Thank you for your reply! He passed away this morning, a little fighter but just not strong enough. Sadly this means I currently have one quail on its own as I've had no more hatch, he's very noisy crying out.

Awh, I'm sorry. Is there anyone near you that has quail chicks?

Do you have chickens?
