HELP! Chick hatching issues!

[FlomatonsFlocks]

What can I do about this?! She was stuck to the inside of the shell for a minute just pulling on it. When she was finally out I noticed a red bulge where the umbilical cord may be? But then she keeps pulling on this stuff and the bulge is bigger and more red!

Just leave it. It will dry up and either fall off or you can cut it with scissors but for now don't mess with it.

I was scared it would pull out more stuff from inside herself. Had another chick do that and I couldn't bear to see it happen again. I risked moving her straight to a separate small cardboard box in the brooder. Today everything is dried up (I cut off the piece that looked like dried umbilical cord. The red buldge is smaller today and looks like bit of yolk sac? I wet it a bit with very warm water (since I used the water to help her open her eye that was stuck shut), hoping it will make it easier for her to absorb. She's doing so well so far!

I've had them hatch like that and it usually absorbs/goes down quick, within a day.

Thank you! Looks like my chickie will be just fine!
