Chick Stuck To Egg Through Umbilical Cord

[kiwibbE]

Hi! I incubated Silkie eggs and 3 out of 4 of them hatched! (The other one I don’t think was viable but we kept it in in case it was)
Anyway, our last baby chick, Pepper, a Blue or Splash Silkie chick hatched at around 12 PM. She hatched with her umbilical cord still connected to her shell and none of the other chicks had this happen. It still hasn’t come off, but it is not bleeding anymore. She seems a little weak and I am worried that she won’t be able to get it off. She took quite a bit longer to hatch then the others and I am just worried about her. She has been chirping and moving around but I am just worried she won’t be able to learn how to walk correctly...
Is there anything I could/should do?

I would clip it very close to the shell to free the chick. When it dries I would then remove more of it.

Will that hurt her?

I had the same situation last hatch. I just let it be for a day until everything has dried, and then i cut the cord close to the egg (as already stated) and the little guy had a little black tail ( the dried cord) for a week and then it fell off naturally. Some have problems with other chicks pecking at it, but i didn’t have that problem.

She seems like she doesn’t know how to use her feet. It is not spraddle leg but should I be worried about her?
