Broken egg, chicks chirping

Yeah don't pull that off that would be the umbilical cord basically. It's a vein and they could bleed out. I would tuck it back under mom or under a light that emits heat - like a regular bulb not fluorescent or led.

I have heat bulb( red one), can i use that? If i put it under light, do i put anything else with it? I read somewhere water for moisture? For now, it's under the hen. It moves but not frequently.

I would only put it under the heat lamp if it's your only option. The hen would still be the best place for it. Under a heat lamp, it would need some type of moisture like an incubator. But, I honestly don't know what a proper set up would be.
The chick that I assisted, I was able to put back under the broody, then I checked on it a bit later and it was fluffed and doing well.

Thank you so much for all your reply❤ I'm gonna leave it under mama and hope for the best. I'll keep checking though

The mother may have crushed the egg and was then working to help it hatch. That happened to one of my broodies. If you put the chick back under the broody and she accepted it, that's the best you could have done.

The chick is still alive and stronger than before. It's chirping and kicking now still has tiny bit yolk to absorb i guess (not sure) but it's warm under mama with another sibling hatched earlier. I'll update you later with pic if it survives. Thank you.

So the chick has kicked out of the membrane. It is chirping and kicking strongly. But it has something out as can be seen in the pictures. There is no blood but i see a very thin thread like sth sticking out. Will it go in with time? I've clean the area little bit and put her back under mama for warmth.

Will it go in with time?

Abdomen hasn't fully closed.
It should with ~24-48 hours.
The 'string' will dry up and fall off.

Thank you so much. I've to go out, was worried. Should i apply sth on it or leave it alone?
