Is that what it is? should I do the cup trick or is that too risky (because I have to open the incubator) for the ones who haven't hatched yet? Is it too late? Blood is everywhere in the incubator! Help!
Help! Chick hatched a couple of hours ago with yolk sac not fully absorbed i think (update: not a yolk sac)

It is not the umbilical cord. That is very wrong. Take it out immediately and examine it. It's not yolk either. Looks like a prolapse of some kind. The eggs in.the incubator will be fine. This is a life threatening situation, which you need to address quickly.

Take him out, and post more pics. Looks like intestines. I'm sorry. I don't know how he'll recover from this.

I don't want to take him out of the incubator because he seems to be doing okay, just a little tired like the rest of the chicks. I don't think its intestines.

Okay I moved him to a box with a heat lamp and scrambled eggs. He isn't moving, breathing though. My mom thinks its internal bleeding.
