If the cord is dry, just cut it off. It isn't a big deal.

Its not quit dry but is drying never seen this before new to chickens after years racing pigeons

It's not too uncommon, but isn't a big deal. Could you post a picture?

The cord came away eventually but not looking good for the chick it seems to have deformed feet and a dislocated leg have tried rectifying the feet with card taped to them but can't do anything for the leg iguess nature will take its coarse
