chick dragging something from egg???Help

[presley]

just hatched chick is dragging something from inside shell, like a blood line or something? Should I do anything?

I had a couple like that... just some unabsorbed yolk or part of the umbilicus/membrane? I put mine on a damp paper towel, so that it would not get caught on anything, and it dried up and fell off within a couple hours....

It's most likely just the umbilical cord. It should dry up and fall off on its own.
