This Silkie hatched yesterday.
It was the last of 6, and hatched day 21.
It had a red mass at the bottom, the others were interested but mot too much. It was walking about and behaving just like the rest.

Today the others are abit too interested and started pulling it about.
I have put the other 5 in the brooder and left this one in the incubator alone with food and water to rest.
Is there anything else I can do?

It looks like the yolk wasn't fully absorbed. Keeping it separate and letting it finish absorbing it and heal is a good idea.
