Thats great news You need to leave the little one in the incubator until the yolk sack has been absorbed.
You just need to set-up a small table for the little one, just like one you'd do for an adult.
Before you put him in the table you need to soak him. Yes you can soak him every day for 10 to 15 minutes.
You feed the same diet as the adults, just in smaller quantities You can have have a small piece of cuttle bone in with him. I would though be supplementing with Nutrabol at every feeding.
