Black yolk sac?****pics added***

[Wegs813]

I am on day 23. I had 10 eggs go in to lockdown out of 13. As of right now, only 2 have hatched. One of the hatched ones came out very wet and sticky...my husband said that it was starting to dry off and was getting stuck to the wire floor in the incubator. My husband pulled it out, washed it off, dried it a little and stuck it back in the incubator. There were 2 other ones in there that had pipped and there had been no movement for quite some time, so my husband pulled them out. He said that one of them had a black yolk sac...is that normal? I have not been home to look at it yet, but will post when I have been home and had a chance to look at them.

I'm going to bump this thread so it doesn't get lost, plus I want to know what this could be.

I'm curious too. Never heard of that. Pics please?

Here are the pictures....both of them had pipped the shell, and put a decent size hole in it, but neither started to zip
The top picture looks like he was not ready to come out yet. But the bottom picture looks like he was fully developed.
Maybe the black colored sac is normal...I really don't know.
Also wanted to add, I pulled 4 eggs from the incubator tonight that had done nothing...cracked them open, and they were early quitters. Really not sure what I was looking at when I candled them before lockdown.

Definitely not normal. If you unwrap the chick a bit, what does it look like?

I wonder if some bacteria got into the egg...

This is what he looked like unwrapped. To me it looks like he was fully developed, except for the yolk sac.

WOW I wonder what that is from. Have you tried a google search? Sorry, I'm of no help on this one.

It looks like his insides are on his outside. I'm not saying it is, just looks like it.

Wow... that's crazy. Definitely not normal. I could only take guesses at it... possibly innards are out, or whatever it is didn't get fully absorbed into the chick on time. If you ever find out what it is/was... let us know.
