Attached to egg

[Alexacfreeman]

Chick hatched about ten mins ago and is still attached to egg there’s a little bit of yellow like it’s yolk but I feel like it’s gonna pull the yolk out of its stomach if it keeps trying to get unattached should I help or just let it be?

I would let him be, but let's see what other people say! I've seen some chicks still attached to the shell by that and drag the shell around lol they turn out ok.

I can't tell by your pictures but if anything is still attached to the egg shell I cut it with scissors.
Don't tug or pull it but cutting it near the shell won't hurt.

I cut it so the egg doesn't get stuck on something and pull the guts right out the chick.

I feel bad leaving baby in the bator since she/he is alone.

Curious what this baby will be mixed with mom is an Americauna and I have no clue who the dad was.

Do you have other eggs hatching?

No there was more but the rest were infertile. He/she is alone in a small brooder but I put a mirror in there I tried to put it with the four day old chicks I have and they were mean
