Ayam cemani chick with umbilical/tissue wrapped around it

[Letmepetyourdogs]

Hello! I have 9 hatched AC babies that began hatching last night. The last one that hatched has tissue attached to it and the umbilical cord wrapped around its wing and neck. The “older” chicks are pecking at it, and I think *may* have detached it from the naval…. However, I am uncertain what the mass attached is- is this unabsorbed yolk? Is there anything I should do to help this lil one? I haven’t opened the incubator to give it a chance to rest and dry up, but am looking for any helpful advice! TIA

I would use a wet Q-tip and remove that membrane before it dries. If it is still attached to the yolk sack the chick should stay in the incubator until the sack is gone. Its OK to open the incubator now that all the babies have hatched, but please get that membrane off before it turns into glue.

That looks like a mix of some membrane, & wastes.
