Here is a really helpful link:http://www.justcockatiels.net/assist-hatches.html

I had the same thing to me last night. Our chicks are hatching and one was taking a very very long time trying to hatch so later that night I helped her hatch. All looked great until I rolled her over in my palm and same thing. It looked like intestines. I gently tried pushing them back in careful not to rupture them. That didn't work. So I built her own sepetate nest and put her rear end on a moist paper towel. (It's real important to isolate them from The rest of The chicks or they may peck the chick with the yolk out) The next day she seemed much better! She has seemed to absorbed the rest of the yolk through her navel. She still doesn't seem as perky as the others but fingers crossed hopes she continues to improve!!!

If the hole is still open and the sack is intact you can put them in a cup or something to hopefully get them to absorb the sack on their own.

You can also remove it if it's punctured, can't enter the body, or might get infected. I had to do that with a duck that hatched by being pecked out of her shell by hungry chickens; when I found her she was cold, had a cut on her bill from being pecked, and had bits of broken yolk sack still stuck to her belly. I had a surgical kit, so I clamped it off, cut off the yolk part, and I also ended up putting a tiny bit of her intestine back in. I just held it there until it stayed, then put the duck in an incubator -alone, since she was from a nest outside- and started trying to feed and water her the next day. She survived and by the time she was a week old she was able to follow me around outside like any other baby duck. So, they don't always die from a punctured yolk sack, but I expect it does increase the instance of infection since it's essentially an open wound into their body cavity at that point.
Hopefully this helps and your chicks survive.
