I can’t tell if it’s bodily waste, leftover gunk from hatching, or unabsorbed yolk. I think I would prepare a small bowl, line it with a damp paper towel and try to remove everything around the navel to see if anything is still actually attached. If it’s just small stringy stuff, it can be clipped a couple inches away from the body. But if it looks more like intestines or worse, then sit it in the bowl and leave in the incubator. Try and get a pic if you can.
I suspect it’s just hatching goo, but just be careful not to pull on it.

You can apply some Vaseline or antibiotic ointment to keep anything from sticking to it.

My lord a lot of veins and what im guessing is yolk sack. Was she way behind? I've got her out of egg but what now. Should i cover it

 

[wheresbigfoot]

I've got shell off, rubbed aintseptic ointment on a gauze had thing so she doesnt stick. Put on over it aswell to try to keep feet out. Ill put her in bator for now unless i see something different in a reply

How did she look

 

[wheresbigfoot]

Shes kicking and breathing and moving her head around and sleeping. Just not sure what i should be doing to comfort her other than leaving her in the warm bator

She’ll be fine on her own.I am sorry I didn’t see the pic before I replied. Sure hope she pulls through
