Do I do anything about this string/yolk situation?

[mrswalker]

S/he is perfectly fine so far, just sleepy in the picture. We did a warm water soak to keep the membrane pliable, it's had some water with nutridrench. Napping now. Do I do anything about this? I would like to trim that membrane, will the rest resolve or is this going to go badly? It does have a mother out in the coop I can return it to as well.

Can you put the baby in a small lined cup under a heat lamp? The temperature should be between 100 to 95 degrees.

Tagging some experts here as well @azygous @Eggcessive @Wyorp Rock

Watching. @SmiYa0126 , what is that thread-like membrane coming from the chick's vent?

That needs to be carefully cut.

What is it?

FYI that's the "umbilical cord"
