Egg is still attached

[jeff139330]

I have one new chick, it's still running around, for hours and the egg is still attached and hasn't dropped.
How long can this typically last? And what if any steps need to be taken aside from humidity.

Is it still in the incubator? Can you see what the shell is attached with?

It's hooked to the body on the belly. More or less it's umbilical chord????
Yes still in the incubator.
Should humidity be drastically increased or kept the same? Not sure what to do.

What is the humidity at? Any chance you can contain the chick in a small cup, inside the incubator?

You can cut it off close to the body if it looks all dried up.
