We had 21 chicks hatch. It had been 36 hours since the last two chicks started hatching. We took the other 21 out and thought we must have shrunk wrapped these last two .. I think we helped to soon but I figured we were going to loose them anyways so tried to assist... the membranes were definitely stuck. We got them out..but the yolk was still attached... rookie mistake I suppose.😔

Do I let them drag the egg around or clip the attachment? I tried to reduce how much they were dragging around but it's pretty stuck. I'm afraid they are going to pull it off and kill themselves.

I relieze they both may no make it but trying to give them the best shot !

Let it dry that's the umbilical cord that connects to the yoke. Usually it falls off when hatching but it should fall off soon enough. Leave the chicks until they dry off.
Okay the one seems to be pulling it longer with dragging it around ?
