Help...is this an unabsorbed yolk?

[Teamlangston]

This is my very first chick that I have hatched and I think this might be unabsorbed yolk hanging from its stomach. Do you just leave it there?
Also she/he is rolling my other eggs around like crazy...is that OK? Or should I prevent that somehow?

That looks like waste product from it pooping in it's shell before hatch. I get that sometimes from my chicks.
A chick rolling the eggs around won't hurt them.

Congrats, I don't see an unabsorbed yolk. Their tummies always look a little swollen. Just leave it be. Yes they knock the others around. It will look different in a few hours when it dries and fluffs.

Whatever it is is still attached and is being drug around. She/he has finally settled down some and is laying down now. I have attached a better picture of the hanging on bits.

That's the waste/poop. Nothing to worry about, it'll come off on it's own.

Thank you all so much for the quick replies. I figured at this point all I could do was sit and wait it out anyway.

You're welcome.
I'm currently waiting for my 2 Orpington eggs to hatch. They're already working towards their aircells.
