I had a slow poke finally hatch out here on day 22. The umbilical cord was still attached to the shell and the chick was dragging it's whole shell around by it's naval. After seeing pictures of another member's chick with intestines hanging out of the chick's naval, I got worried. Sooo, my husband held the wet chick in his hands while I carefully tied a piece of sewing thread to the cord and cut the chick free from it's egg shell. Before putting it back in the incubator I dabbed on some blue coat.
