Is that normal? WIll it fall off? It kind of looks like an umbilical cord. The chick hatched super fast, is strong, but the shell is still attatched by a small string..

My other question is, once its dryed off, should i leave it in the incubator for 24 hrs, is it ok to open it to remove it, when there are others that have barely pipped? I have lots of questions, this is the first time :)
