Thank you
I am worried about one who has a herniated navel though, so far no one has replied to the thread I started about that.

You may want to post on one of the hatching threads. Do you mean the "yolk sac," is still attached? Is so it should dry up and fall off on it's own. Better to have chick alone till then so the other doesn't peck at it.

It had a yolk sac still attached so I left it in a cup with paper towels in the bottom of its shell overnight. It absorbed it but when I checked its intestines were out of its navel.
I ended up having to put it down because I could not get the intestines back in and it was starting to fade.
