Is it underneath him on his stomach?

If it was underneath him it’s just like an umbilical cord on a human it’s where he was attached to the shell.

Kinda, it was attached to his behind, about where his vent would be. At least as far as I could tell.

Then yes that would just be like an umbilical cord on a baby.

Okay. What about his frantic peeping? And the blood vessel thing? Is that what's like an umbilical cord? Also, the other chicks will be fine with the high humidity? Sorry for all the questions.

He’s looking for his friends when peeping like that he’ll calm down soon. The thing that was under him that fell off is the umbilical cord thing. And yes the chicks will be fine with the humidity it’ll go down as he drys
