Chick hatched with cord attached

[ibellaholliday]

Hi I have a chick that hatched and was initially attached to the shell with a cord and some clumps of what I initially thought were its insides. Since then it has broken off from the shell but still attachef to a lump of flesh, I think it's just membrane and plan to cut the cord once it's dried. I just wanted to post here in case anyone had alternate ideas? The chick is chirping a lot and lively, sometimes gets caught on its back when it was in the incubator but has since been moved to the brooder for more space. Any thoughts appreciated!

With the red light its hard to tell, my guess would be hatching debris. It might come off on it's own.

Thanks for your response, it dried and fell off by itself!

Yes I was going to suggest letting the cord dry up, then it falls off. If the long cord is still connected to the egg, I try and separate the shell off, because dragging the shell around pulls on the inner belly button area. Try not to clip anything close to the chick.
