yolk absorbing

I have a chick that didn’t fully absorb their yolk before hatching. It was just a little bit so I found some similar posts online and followed the advice there with my own tweaks and the little one is looking pretty good now but I want to know what else can go wrong at this point and what I can...

Hi everyone - I’m on day 30 with runner ducklings. I have had to hatch all of the ducklings so far - 3 came out two days ago and yesterday and seem well, one died yesterday and I have these two left in the incubator. I’ve managed to get the black one out but I think it is still absorbing the...

First time hatcher here. One of my Silkie eggs just hatched a day early. I am hatching vertically in egg cartons due to some questionable air sacs (they were shipped). The chick seemed to be stuck in the egg but eventually rolled out onto the incubator and remnants of the yolk still seemed to be...

Hello, my female khaki decided to have babies in the middle of winter. She barely became an adult in Sep. she had 9 eggs 2 hatched on the 6th sadly between the cold and their father they died, a third egg hatched later that day and that baby is fine and thriving at 5 days old now. She had 2 eggs...

I had a chick hatch yesterday with the most severe cause of an unabsorbed yolk I have ever seen. Calling it an unabsorbed yolk is almost downplaying it. Along with the yolk, there was a good chunk of intestines hanging out. I ended up euthanizing the chick shortly after it hatched. To be honest...

This gosling hatched assisted since he has internally piped for 18 hours and seemed to be getting weaker. He’s been like this for 24 hours. Wrapped in wet warm paper towel with antibiotic ointments over protruding part. I’m gently massaging the area as well. He seems to not be getting any...

Hi guy's. Hopefully someone can help me. 29 days ago I set 6 call duck eggs in my shite Incy. Unfortunately at around day 18 I had a incy failure, long and short lost 5 of the 6 eggs. Sorted incy and thought "well let's see how we go" On day 24 my remaining egg pipped internally, by day 26...

Hey all, I've got a 2 week old African x Chinese gosling that had a yolk sac that wasn't completely absorbed when hatched. I took it to our avian vet today and was told there's an infection brewing. So vet said to do 5 days of oral Clavamox .50 cc 2 times a day. I attempted to give the 1st dose...

I found my duckling Little Foot back on the 15th. I went to the run to return a baby I had hatched (its shell had been badly broken and I repaired and incubated it {foreshadowing}) and saw a little duckling not moving. I picked her up and saw her yolk was still attached. My girl Eyebrows is a...

I recently hatched out two Sebastopol goslings one completely healthy normal boy and another girl who had some difficulties. She hatched very enthusiastically completely on her own but for some reason hatched with the yolk attached, after some reading I think it may have been due to humidity...

Please Help! Any advice greatly appreciated!! We have a duckling that hatched early with yolk sack still not finished absorbing. We assisted 36 hours after external pip after realizing membrane was sticky and stuck to duckling. After hatching left in incubator for 24 hours but had trouble...

Somebody please help, the yolk isn’t absorbed and I don’t know what to do! I help it hatch because it’s been pipping for 2 days had its first pip and stopped! Please help!

Hi all! I’m hatching ducklings for the first time and my first baby was just hatched. It’s currently tuesday, and they weren’t “due” to hatch until thursday. The duckling hatched perfectly fine, but when it came out of its shell it looked like the yolk sac was still attached. However he quickly...

Hi I have a mallard duck egg that internally pipped on match 2nd (3 days ago) I started the incubation on February 2nd (so it was on day 24). I was worried because the air sac was smaller then normal, I think from too high of humidity during the whole incubation, between 55-65, other then the...

Hi everyone. So after keeping Calls the last 8 years I decided to branch into muscovies. We incubated according to the main muscovy incubating article on here; this one and incubated dry until adding water at lockdown. I've listed everything I've done from first intervention in this Facebook...

so yesterday one of the last duck eggs was hatching, (nearly fully out) and i had a look at his yolk sac, which was not fully absorbed. (he was taking days to come out so we had to help him a bit) it wasnt fully absorbed, so i left him in his egg to wait for him to be ready. a few hours later he...

This duck was accidentally incubated with chicken eggs not sure how. So the egg was overdue for hatching but I could see that it internally popped the air sac so I poked a little hole in it. I had already assisted a chiclet with his shell and thought it would be fine to help this one aswell...

Hi all. I HAVE A CHICK TOTALLY TRAPPED IN DRIED MEMBRANE! Egg pipped at midday on Saturday (uk time here). It quickly unzipped, but then seemed very stuck. I have read a lot about this sort of thing, and knew to just wait 24 hours. The next day, two further chicks had hatched, but not this...
