My third chick just hatched, but it seems like there is a cord attaching it to the shell. I removed her from the incubator and put her, still in half the egg shell, into a cup under the heat lamp. I didn't get a picture because I am worried to move her too much.
Also, she seemed to have some blood on her when she hatched. She is very active and cheeping a lot, so she seems healthy.
I have read some other posts where the yolk sack doesn't fully absorb by the time they hatched. I am wondering if it could be that or something else?
Thanks
Update:
I just checked on her. It was attached by a tiny bit of membrane, which we cut. Now it looks like her vent is protruding. Has anyone experienced this?
