Hi

I'm afraid it's not normal for them to stuck to the bottom of the incubator. It's either hatched with its yolk not fully absorbed or it may have a hernia. Sometimes though they can hatch with their umbilical cord and a bit hatch gunk still attached. Could you give a better description of the goo please? Colour etc, a pic would be great too please.

It's out of the shell completely but this stuff is hanging down

The shell did have some blood in it
