    Just leave it alone?

    My chick finally hatched! I came home today and found my chick finally hatched which was due tonight but I don't see any yolk but look like it has a hernia or it's stomach absorbed yet or it is a imbulicul. Should I leave it alone in the incubator or wrap the chick in a moist warm paper towel?
