yolk sac

Hey y'all, brand new to BYC so I appreciate any and ALL help and advice you have to offer. I had placed an egg in the incubator that appeared to be one laid by my sweet east indie girl, farrah.. much to my surprise it was actually a rare and weird white egg that is either one of my australorps...

This morning I've received this chick along with some eggs. The owner got some eggs and left them in the kitchen where it's warm enough for them to hatch. They don't know how to take care of them so they sent the one that survived to me, with some hay and other eggs. Apparently it's a Thai Game...

There’s something yellow, I guess maybe the yolk sac, still attached to shell which is attached to the chick. Is there anything I can do? Or do I just wait for it to come loose? Or dry out?

My duckling was started pipping 24 hours before he came out. He was upside down and did not hatch in the airsac. When he came out i noticed he still had his yolk sac after 5 hours none more has come it and it has stayed a grayish color i have him in the incubator wrapped in towels the bottom...

Hi, we are first time duck owners and decided to try and hatch some ducklings, black Swedish. We only had 4 viable out of the initial 12, one soon died in the shell, and then when it was 3-4 days after hatch day should have happened we gave up on the other three. A few days later we went to...

Hi, I had recently gotten duck eggs, and the date for them to hatch was today and the two Pekin ducks haven’t even made the small hole yet, and the black duck hatched early and it had this greenish, brownish, yellowish sac attached that doesn’t have blood vessels but it clearly the yoke. I don’t...

One chick hatched very quickly on day 20 (yesterday) and came out with a large red ball on his/her back side area. This has now turned into a sort of red tail. It was bleeding but now it has stopped and turned into an almost dark red colour. He or she dragging it around behind them. What should...

*sigh* Long story short. Day 26: Momma got off this egg and two others 2.5 days ago, All other eggs were hatched 4 days ago. I whipped up a DIY incubator *tote, heating pad, damp towel and thermometer* as best as I could and put the 3 abandoned eggs in them in. Nothing. I didn’t think the...

This little guy just hatched out and I’m not sure how to handle the exposed yolk sac. I couldn’t find info online or on YouTube so I am lost. It is acting fine but I don’t want to put it with the others as I assume they will peck the yolk sac. Any help would be most appreciated.

My broody hatched out nine chicks over the last two and a half days. These last two eggs pipped Saturday afternoon but never quite made it all the way. I just went out to find my hen kicking up the nest with her other chicks and they completely buried these last two eggs. The eggs were pretty...

So, I have a baby chick who was born two days ago and since she doesn't seem like she's been well at all. I just discovered today her yolk sac is still attached and it seemed to make sense as to why she's been acting slow. For the past couple of days her eyes are for the majority of the time...

So, I am very excited, out of nearly 24 eggs, only 5 look like they are going to hatch. I received them by mail, and I know that greatly decreases the odds, and add on top of that that the mail man put them in my mail box even though they said live eggs, so two were broken. And there was a...
