Can someone tell me if this is intestines or an unabsorbed yolk sac?

New chick. I know the results are grim. But understanding what this mass is would help in my next steps

Thank you so much. Thats what I was thinking because I have had one with its intestines being pulled out from the entire weight of the yolk sac before and this didn’t look quite like I remembered

I don't have experience with this, but I know that many keep them in a cup to keep them still. It kind of mimicks being in the egg. Sorry I don't know more details.

Keep the area moist with a moistened paper towel in the incubator. Leave it alone to dry out. Other may chime in with more experience. Here is some reading about unabsorbed yolk sacs:
