    hmmm tiny guy big question
    :weirdface So I check the eggs through the bator lid often....there is one tiny guy out of the six that hadn't been moving as much and well through his slit his yolk hasn't gotten smaller, his movement less and the veins look weaker you could say....could this be the dreaded knotted umbilical cord? If so what would you do?

    has he piped at least his sack yet? if he has i would pull him out get some thread and tie a knot around the yolk this should cut off the blood flow from him into the yolk and cut offthe extra yolk ( if there is alot of blood coming out do another knot but tighter) he may still bleed a little but thats ok) put him in a tub with the others that are out just make sure its really wet in there for him and he will be fine

    Looks like you've mostly got him sorted. Might want to see if you can at least get him to drink?

    Here's Justin Kobylka's recent vid on a firefly girl with the same problem:

    he it looks like you did what i told you to some times if there very small ie: like 46grams or less it takes alot out of them and yes you want some water at the bottom of the tub it will take them a couple of hours or the next day for them to start moving around
