Incubation progress of Muscovy eggs

If you are unsure. Then YES, clean her butt up and look for that string. It was just a temporary fix...

I didn't see it! Lord I hope it fell off!

The cord is going to stay attached but as it dries up it will get thinner and thinner, it will look like a piece of thread, it will be dark not see threwish.

That is exactly what it looks like....which is why I can't tell what is string and what is cord!

OK - I took her out and looked for the string.  I don't think I see it - I am thinking maybe it fell off, although I can't find it.  I gently pulled on what I thought might have been the string, but I think it was the cord shriveling up...Is the tiny "lump" between the cord and her body is the yolk sac still being absorbed? 

No yolk is all absorbed, your looking at a swelled up behind. A lot of work went on back there. If the string fell off then that would make total since as to why she was bleeding. If she has stopped bleeding, and she's cleaned up, I say just put her in and let her do her thing.. As long as the bleeding has stopped she'll be ok, and since she's popping her system is working that's a BONUS. HAHAHAHA

Excellent! I am going to lay down here on the sofa and rest for a while, next to her in her bator on the coffee table. She is all cuddled up with the other eggs! I will check on her in an hour or so...

No, but it is a way for bacteria to enter, so don't touch it if you don't have to.

Oh! I hope I didn't! I dripped water on it while I was washing the cord, looking for the string! Should I be worried?
