One came out w/ yolk - and question about others!

That first one will be just fine! Just put him on some moist paper towels and he might absorb a little more, or more likely, it will just fall off.

And just for reassurances, here's a pic of a pied I hatched last year who came out with his yolk unabsorbed. As you can see, he didn't absorb any of it. I put him in a deli cup lined with moist paper towels, and within a couple of days he had absorbed all but a small portion and that small portion fell off. If he can survive this, your guy will too!

Congrats on the healthy babies!

Thank you! I caught the Mojave halfway out a little while ago, but he got scared and retreated back into the egg... that baby is driving me nuts. The one with yolk is doing well, though, and was cruising around his tub when I checked on him.

I actually read your original thread, when I did a search on this issue... it made me feel a lot better, and I'm so glad your baby survived. Beautiful little guy!!
