I am leaving it be in the incubator for now but it doesn't appear to be absorbing any of the yolk. I poked it and didn't see any movement so not sure.. Any help appreciated
Can you tell if the umbilicus is twisted or tangled? I'd think the red veins are a good sign...although a little movement would be reassuring. Does it look or smell like it's "going bad"? Good luck...I hope it pulls through for you.
