Can you get a picture? It's not unusual for the umbiliical cord, a thin gray and pink stringy thing attached to the shell, to stay on the chick for a little while. That is perfectly normal and will take care of itself.

Intestines are about the diameter of a pencil and curly or wavy. If those have pulled out, no matter how hard you try, it's unlikely you can save the chick due to the likelihood of infection.

@chick786 The chick did not completely close its navel. Leave it in and the humidity up, it still has a 50/50 chance. I had to cull one last week that this happened to, it lived and was active but failed to grow and thrive.

Question: We have several chicks that hatched last night. They still look wet. Yesterday morning I wet our 2 sponges ( they were dry) and the humidity is now 80. I removed one just now but left the other. Do I leave the wet chicks in the bator or can I move them to the warmed brooder to dry?

Up to 12 chicks now and a few more pipped. So eggciting
