I'm going to try to switch this to emergency.

I'm going to try to switch this to emergency.

I was able to remove it from the shell safely but now have another question which probably also goes under emergency

These are photos of the early hatchers trying to eat something off the other ones butt what should I do if anything?

That's an unabsorbed yolk sac. If the other babies keep pecking at it, it can become infected or cause the baby to bleed out. I would separate him into a little cup lined with paper towels inside the incubator until the yolk either finishes absorbing or dries up and falls off.

I looked at the photos and there is red on the rear of the one and I can see the one eating? it. I, though not very experienced, 2 times with incubator, would watch for a little while longer. If one continues to "eat" peck at the rear of the other, I would put the one with the red rear into the brooder. I don't think you can chance leaving him/her with the other overnight.

Can you tell if is part of the chicks body? organs?

No need to switch forums, this is about incubating and hatching.

I would follow the suggestion above by @SilverBirds
