Is this normal? Day old Aracuana

[KatefromOz]

Hello all.
I picked up a day old Aracuana yesterday...I noticed when we got home she had a little 'string' hanging out of her backside. I have attached a photo. I tried to give it a little pull but nothing happened. I didn't want to pull too hard and hurt her (hopefully her). Is it some yolk that got stuck? Since I've put a photo...do you think this is a blue or lavender aracuana? Thanks in advance.

Try to remove it if its coming out of its butt. It looks to be a hair

Okay I will try. I yanked it harder and it didn't budge...it was hard enough for the chick to be lightly pulled to the ground. Thanks for your advice.

Do not pull on it. It is probably the umbilicus - just trim it with a pair of scissors. If you pull on it you may open the abdomen to infection.

I'm sorry I didn't know that I hope I ain't get it hurt

That’s a cute little guy you have there.

3x Sourland, don't pull, you can clip it shorter

Thank you all...I was worried about pulling it too hard and doing some damage. It doesn't seem to be annoying her at all so I will give it a little trim. Really appreciate your help!!
